Gods character goes into the creation of every person.God knows you in the mothers womb,and out of the mothers womb.God knows us before we were ever born.Such knowledge is overwhelming to us because we really were born into this world for Gods purpose.We are a miracle!!.I myself,have know other way to express or say God is the Creator of everything.Gods work is ~AMAZING~,when you think about it."Plant a tree,it grows.Plant a flower,or put a seed in the ground,it grows.Look at the stars,can you count them?Put your hand over your heart and feel the beat.God Is ~AWESOME~.

Gods hand was already on the psalmist.Though at times we feel in our flesh God is not with us,that is not so.God is with us always.know matter what we do or where we ate ,Gods comforting presence is with us to lead and guide us.You can never be lost to his Spirit.Yes,I have felt Gods hand upon me many times.Times when I am happy and times when I am down.His presence feels good.God lifts me up,loves on me,and lets me know He is with me all the time.Know matter where you turn,just call out His name,and you will know He is there.I have felt Gods presence all around me,and it is beyond any words I could express.Gods presence is everywhere.God is on earth,as it is in heaven.Amen

WELL YES,I WOULD SAY THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES I WANTED TO RUN,FLEE OR COULD EVEN SAY HIDE FROM GOD.AND THE REASON IS GOD DOES KNOW ME INSIDE AND OUT.GOD KNOWS WHO I AM,MORE SO THAN I DO KNOW MY OWN SELF.GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING I DO,EVEN BEFORE I SPEAK,MY ACTIONS,EVERTHING THAT I AM,GOOD AND BAD.I CAN'T RUN OR HIDE FOR VERY LONG,BECAUSE GOD IS RIGHT THERE.LOOKING AT ME."LINDA",WHERE ARE YOU?WHATS GOING ON? AND WITH HIS LOVING VOICE,"WHY AREN'T YOU TALKING TO ME? THEN I AM IN TEARS,"OH GOD,I DON'T KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH ME"! ~ I DO KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH ME~ WHEN YOU BELONG TO GOD,YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM HIM,OR EVEN RUN FROM HIM ,FOR VERY LONG.GODS HAND IS UPON ME.KNOW MATTER WHERE I AM GOD IS WITH ME,ALL POWERFUL,ALL LOVING,ALWAYS FORGIVING WHEN I GO TO HIM IN REPENTANCE,COVERING ME WITH HIS HAND,LIFTING ME UP INTO HIS EVERLASTING LOVE.GLORY TO GOD AMEN

MAKING OUR REQUESTS KNOWN TO GOD WILL HELP BUILD A RELATIONSHIP AND TRUST IN GOD.I AM ALREADY TRUSTING GOD WHEN I GO TO HIM WITH MY BURDENS OR REQUESTS OF PRAYER.I BELIEVE OUR TRUST FIRST BEGINS WHEN WE TAKE THE STEP OF SALVATION IN ACCEPTING CHRIST JESUS AS OUR LIFE AND FOLLOWING HIM.I ALSO FEEL WHEN I RECEIVE AN ANSWER TO A PRAYER THAT I HAVE PRAYED, LETS ME KNOW GOD IS THERE FOR ME, AND IS LISTENING TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.YES,GOD WANTS TO HELP US IN TIMES OF NEED,BUT IN RETURN WE MUST NOT FORGET TO THANK HIM.I AM HUMAN AND I DO HAVE REFLECTIVE THINKING,WHICH IN TURN, OFTEN WORKS ON MY EMOTIONS AS WELL.TAKING CONTROL OF THESE EMOTIONS IS HAVING THE RIGHT MIND SET.THAT IS, I HAVE TURNED TO GOD IN PRAYER.WHEN I SPEND THAT PRAYFUL TIME WITH HIM,I HAVE COME AWAY WITH A PEACE THAT I CAN NOT EXPLAIN.I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.I FELT THAT WAY THE OTHER DAY, AFTER PRAYER AT OUR CHURCH, THAT EVENING AT PRAYER SERVICE.I KNOW GOD WAS THERE, LISTENING TO WHAT ALL OF US HAD TO SAY.GOD SHOWED UP IN A ELECTRIFYING PRESENCE.YOU COULD FEEL THE ELECTRICITY WITH IN THE AIR WHERE WE WERE PRAYING.I HAVE FELT GODS PRESENCE LIKE THAT MANY TIMES BEFOR, DURING PRAYER,THANKSGIVING AND WORSHIP,WHICH ALL GO TOGETHER.ON ONE OCCASION,IT SEEMED LIKE AN ELECTRIFYING BEAM CAME RIGHT DOWN INTO THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF US, AS WE MADE A CIRCLE.IT WAS SO STRONG PEOPLE COULDNT STAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING,AND THEY SCATTERED.MIRACLES HAPPENED THAT DAY.I WAS HEALED OF A HEART PROBLEM I HAD SINCE I WAS A CHILD. I AM TELLING YOU BY MY OWN EXPERIENCE.TRUST GOD,GREAT THINGS WILL HAPPEN,YOUR FAITH WILL GROW STRONGER,AND HIS PEACE WILL QUIET YOUR SPIRIT.

WHEN I PRAY TO GOD I DO LIKE TO THANK HIM FOR THE THINGS HE HAS ALREADY DONE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. GOD HAS ANSWERED A LOT OF MY PRAYERS AND I AM THANKFUL.MORE THANKFUL THAN WORDS CAN BE EXPRESSED TO GOD.I THANK HIM FOR THE AIR I BREATH,AND FOR HIS BEAUTIFUL CREATION.GOD IS OUR CREATOR OF EVERYTHING.THANKSGIVING AFFECTS MY FAITH BECAUSE GOD HAS SHOWN ME WHAT HE CAN DO WNEN I GO TO HIM IN PRAYER.I HAVE SEEN PRAYER ANSWERED FOR MY FRIENDS.I HAVE HEARD THEM THANK GOD AS THEY ARE IN PRAYER.WHEN I SEE HOW GOD HAS TAKEN OVER THINGS IN MY LIFE,THAT I MYSELF COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT,THAT ALONE BUILDS MY FAITH.PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH GOD.I WISH I COULD JUST TELL EVEYONE THE THINGS GOD HAS DONE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.THERE HAS BEEN SOME COMPLETE TURN AROUNDS(180'S) "ALL THROUGH PRAYER"THANK YOU LORD JESUS.

I WOULD SAY REJOICING IN THE LORD IS BOTH.IT CAN BE A FEELING AND IT CAN BE AN ACTION.YOU CAN SAY ,I HAVE THE JOY OF THE LORD IN MY LIFE.SO YOU SPEAK OUT WHAT YOU FEEL THERE IS JOY UNSPEAKABLE,SO IF THE JOY IS UNSPEAKABLE YOU EXPRESS YOUR JOY IN ACTION.SINGING,SHOUTING,RUNNING,GIVING,AND SO ON.I HAVE HAD SO MUCH JOY THAT I LAUGH SO MUCH I CRY.SEEKING GOD IS A JOY.I ALSO BELIEVE ITS WHAT WE SET OUR MINDS ON.PAUL SAYS TO PROGRAM OUR MINDS WITH THOUGHTS THAT ARE TRUE,NOBLE,RIGHT,PURE,LOVELY,ADMIRABLE,EXCELENT,AND PRAISEWORTHY.WE MUST BE POSITIVE AND NOT NEGITIVE.BE HAPPY,DONT WORRY,AS THE OLD SAYING GOES.ASK GOD TO HELP YOU FOCUS ON THE GOOD THINGS OF LIFE.GOD IS GOOD,SO WE MUST FOCUS ON HIS GOODNESS.THE EFFECT OF REJOICING IS PEACE,EVEN WHEN THINGS DON'T SEEM TO BE GOING LIKE THEY SHOULD.AMEN

I HEZEKIAN HAD NOT ASKED GOD FOR HEALING,HE WOULD HAVE NOT LIVED 15 MORE YEARS. WE MUST BE TRUE TO GOD BEING THE CHRISTIAN GOD CAN USE.OUR EYES ARE OPEN TO MANY THINGS THAT NEED PRAYING ABOUT,AND WE WANT GOD TO HEAR US.IF WE ARE LIVING A SINFUL LIFE,HOW CAN GOD EVEN THINK ABOUT ANSWERING ANY OF OUR PRAYERS.WE ALL MUST DO THE BEST WE CAN.WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES,BUT AS WE LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES WE CAN HELP OTHERS.YES,ALL GODS GIFTS ARE BY GRACE(FAVOR)BUT WE DO NOT EARN OR DESERVE WHAT GOD GIVES TO US FREELY BECAUSE HE LOVES US.WE MUST BE QUICK TO REPENT,HUMBLE OURSELF BEFORE GOD.GOD IS GOOD,AND FULL OF BLESSINGS FOR HIS PEOPLE.

HEZEKIAH'S HEALING WAS IMPORTANT FOR HIS NATION BECAUSE IF HE DIED THERE NEEDED TO BE ANOTHER SUCCESSOR WHO COULD LEAD THE NATION AGAINST ITS ENEMIES .HEZEKIAH HAD HEAVY RESPONSIBILITIES.WE ALL WILL FACE DEATH AT SOME POINT IN OUR LIFE,SO WE ALL MUST KEEP THINGS IN ORDER FOR OUR FAMILIES. IN RELATION TO GODS PROMISE TO DAVID,HEZEHIAH IS ALSO APPEALING TO GOD'S PROMISES FOR OFFSPRING AND FOR A LONG LIFE TO THOSE WHO WHO HAD BEEN CAREFUL TO LIVE A GODLY,RIGHTEOUS,AND FAITHFUL LIFE BEFORE THE LORD. THIS QUESTION IS A BIT HARD FOR ME TO ANSWER,BUT I DO BELIEVE GOD IS A GOOD GOD AND A JUST GOD,AND WILL ANSWER OUR PRAYERS.SOME OF US SUFFER WITH SICKNESS AND SOME WITH HEALTH PROBLEMS,AND WE ARE NEVER HEALED BUT GOD ALWAYS MAKES A WAY TO BETTER OUR LIFE IN SOME OF THESE CIRCUMSTANCES IF WE JUST HAVE FAITH,AND TRUST IN HIM.AMEN

THE FIRST TWO SENTENCES COMPARED TO THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THE LORDS PRAYER IS, HE APPROACHED GOD WITH SOVEREIGHTY AND RESPECT, FOR WHO GOD IS,HEZEKIAH HALLOWED GODS NAME.IT IS IMPORTANT TO FAITH BECAUSE WE NEED TO KNOW GOD AND WHO HE IS,KNOWING GOD CAN DO ALL AND ABOVE ALL,WORKING OUT ANY SITUATION WE ARE GOING THROUGH,OR EVEN ASKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE.I BELIEVE IT IS IMPORTANT TO GOD BECAUSE GOD WANTS US TO COME TO HIM.GOD LOVES US .ONLY GOD IS THE ONE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ACHIEVEMENTS,AND WE SHOULD GIVE GOD HONOR AND CREDIT,WHICH IS DUE TO ONLY HIM.THIS SHOULD PLEASE GOD KNOWING THAT WE COMPLETELY DEPEND ON HIM IN ANSWERING OUR PRAYERS.

AS WE KNOW,AHAZ HAD CLOSED THE DOORS OF THE TEMPLE,SO THAT WORSHIP,OFFERINGS AND INSTRUCTION FROM THE LORD WOULD BE STOPPED.HEZEKIAH OPENED THEM AGAIN.HEZEKIAH BEING A KING AND A MAN OF GOD NEW HIS INSTRUCTIONS COME FROM GOD.HE KNEW THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD,AND THAT GOD WOULD SHOW HIM WHAT TO DO.TO APPLY THIS PRINCIPAL TO OUR LIVES,WE MUST TRUST GOD ,SO WE CAN KEEP OUR LIVES IN ORDER,WITHOUT STRESSING OURSELF OUT OVER SITUATIONS WE CAN NOT CONTROL.TAKE IT TO THE LORD IN PRAYER,TRUSTING GOD TO TAKE CARE OF US.AMEN

I believe having the attitude with the regard to giving ,is related to our praises to God.When you give ,you give into Gods work.In order for things to be done it takes money.We should feed the poor.Give to the homeless..When we give,we bless Gods people.God loves the people of the world.When we have that right attitude,and I believe it comes from the heart,we are truly giving in praise and worship.We build Gods Church by giving.We may not have wealth,but we can have the willingness to give.It is not what we have that counts with God ,but the willingness to give it.We are generous because we are thankful.When we are thankful,we are praising God.Our attitude can inspire others.If you dont have monies ,you can also give of yourself.Clean your church.If you know of a place where they are feeding the homeless,you can help.Take an old person who cant drive to the doctors office, or to the grocery store.You will be blessed.

There are times when I pray I try and think of beautiful things to praise God with as I begin my prayers,such as"Heavenly Fathers",I love you.Heavenly Father,you are so good to me,"You are the "Mighty One".Heavenly Father,"You are the Creator of everything,the trees ,the air I breath,the singing birds,the spiders hanging from the trees,"You and you alone have created everthing"I love your creation.I could go on and on but Im sure you understand what I am saying.In the Lords Prayer it starts out with "Our Father,who are in heaven,"HALLOW"be thy name.As we pray the Lords Prayer,we tell God how holy He is,how sacred.We hallow God .Some of my favorite songs are contemperary,and also out of the Hymnal books."You Are So Good To ME",Amazing Grace,Holy Holy Holy."Great And Mighty Is He".There are so many beautiful songs we can sing. Another thing,when you are spending time with God,make up your own song.Just sing to God in your own way,and in your ouw tune.Add your own thoughts and words.You will be blessed,as you bless God with your own words and singing.Amen

TO EXALT GOD IS TO RAISE GOD HIGH ABOVE EVERYTHING.TO SHOW GOD WE KNOW HE IS ALL POWERFUL. WE MAGNIFY GOD TO HIS GLORY.WE SHOULD EXALT GOD BECAUSE HE IS OUR GOD, OVER ALL.WHEN WE EXALT GOD WE CAN FEEL HIS PRESENCE.WE KNOW GOD IS THERE,RIGHT IN THE ROOM WITH US.KNOWING GOD IS THERE IS JUST KNOW WORDS FOR ME TO EXPLAIN.WE EXALT GOD AND IN RETURN HE EXALTS US WITH HIS ELECTRIC PRESENCE.AS I EXALT GOD,I CAN FEEL GOD WITH ME. WHAT DOES EXALTATION DO IN US.IT STRENGTHENS ME,KNOWING GOD IS THERE AND HE LOVES ME SO MUCH TO MAKE HIMSELF PRESENT.I EXALT GOD BECAUSE I LOVE HIM AND I KNOW WITHOUT HIM I AM NOTHING.AMEN.

OUR PRAYERS SHOULD NOT BE JUST ASKING GOD ALL THE TIME FOR SOMETHING,OR FORGIVENESS.I DONT WANT TO JUST SELF CENTER MYSELF,OTHERS NEED OUR PRAYERS ALSO.WHEN I GO TO GOD IN PRAYER I TELL HIM,HOW GOOD HE IS TO ME,AND I THANK HIM FOR ANSWERING MY PRAYERS.I THANK HIM FOR KEEPING MY FAMILY SAFE.I TELL HIM I LOVE HIM AND HE IS THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING,ENCLUDING MYSELF.I LOVE THE TREES AND THE AIR I BREATH.I HEAR THE BIRDS SING IN THE MORNING,AND FEEL THE BEAUTIFUL MORNING AIR.ALL OF THIS SHOWS ME HOW MUCH GOD LOVES ME.I FEEL GODS PEACE,AS GOD'S CREATION WAKES UP IN THE MORNING. WHAT WE HAVE THAT GOD DESIRES IN A BLESSING IS OURSELF,OUR SPIRIT,OUR HEART.I OPEN MY MOUTH AND USE MY VOICE TO PRAISE HIM.WE POUR OUT TO HIM WITH ALL WE HAVE WITHIN US.WE RAISE OUR HANDS,WHICH SHOULD BE A WILLING RESPONCE.WE GIVE FREELY TO GOD ,BECAUSE EVERYTHING WE HAVE WAS GIVEN TO US BY GOD.GOD IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END,GOD IS ETERNAL.WE ARE NOTHING WITHOUT HIM.WITH EVERY BREATH WE TAKE,GOD HAS GIVEN US OUR PRECIOUS LIFE,WHICH IN TURN SHOULD BE USED TO GLORIFY HIM.AMEN

To have a broken heart means you are physically and emotionally just torn up with sin in our life.You become aware of the devine presence of God.You want to be pure and clean "restored"so you can have a relationship with God.We are presenting ouself to God "as a sacrifice"our soul,our being,our sinful life,because we are broken and sorry for our sins,we want to give it all to God.We can give our sins to God because of Jesus.Your sins are forgiven because of God,s precious Son,who died for us.We resist,because I believe it is just that sinful nature,people want to hang on to this sinful world.We have to be completely broken and truly sorry for our sins.Its like we must go all the way,or nothing.Its not half of our sin ,its all of our sins. Have mercy on me Oh,God for I am a sinner.Then we can go tell others of Gods great mercy,and forgiveness of our sins.Tell others ,so they can experience Gods love and forgiveness.Live a joyful life,be happy,be restored fully in Gods Love.Amen

Yes,it is possible to have a pure heart.God will forgive us of our sins if we are truly sorry.God bring about a pure heart because God gave his son,Jesus Christ,whom shed his blood for our sins.Know matter what we have done God desires to forgive us.God loves us and wants know one's acts lead them to eternal death.We serve a loving and forgiving God.Amen

To me, David is only going to God,asking forgiveness of his sin.He is telling God he knows his sin was great,and that his sin hurt others,causing death.David also new he sinned against God.David was truly sorry and wanted to be cleansed,so his sins wouldnt seperate him from God. David did not hide his sin from God,he acknowledged,and confessed everything to God.In order to be forgiven I believe you have to take all the sin to God,not just part of it.You can't make excuses for your sin.God knows everything I have ever done.

In my experience,I was raised in a church to know God.Mama took me to Mass.As I grew to know God as a child my faith was being built up.Salvation and Forgiveness was a part of my life,which my faith was based on.There are many prayers in the Bible,which is a foundation to help us learn how to pray.I am 60yrs old ,but yet I am still learning how to pray.Of course we do not want to mimic,and try to sound like David or others in the bible who prayed:We are to pray from our heart,just as David did,having faith in knowing we are forgiven,or to what we ask of God."If you ask God of anything,it shows you have "Faith"enough to believe God will intervene,and hear our prayers.

Prayer for pardon of our sins requires faith because we must first believe in God and His mercy and grace.Our faith is also based on John 3:16 for our salvation and forgiveness of sin.There must be a relationship with the Father. Sin will seperate us from God.God is always there for us.God never leaves us.We are the ones who walk away from God,making wrong choises.Sin not only is sin on our part ,but sin also hursts others.Could be the people we love.Believing in God,and really being sorry for your sin,"is gain".Believing in God is our faith,so we ask God for forgiveness.We repent with our heart.Just like David did.We can pray in confidence,knowing we are truly sorry for our sin,God will forgive us.That does not mean we just keep on in sin.I believe we learn from our sins.Makes us stronger christians as we learn what sin can do,we want to stay away from the evil of Satan."Lord God ,deliever me from evil".Amen

Oh yes,Abraham showed persistance.He prayed the same prayer but lowered the numbers,"but Lord please dont be angry with me,"he bodly bargains God down from 50 to 10.Abraham was persistent,and in this situation Abraham needed to be, because he was wanting to bring as many righteous out of Sodom,so they not be destroyed also along with the wicked. Abraham new God was going to destroy all of Sodom,so he had to pray through,knowing what could happen to Lots family and the righteous,pleading to God for the people. Yes,I believe I have prayed through a bad situation.I prayed for a person that I love,and for others who had the same addiction.I found myself right in the mist of what these poor addicts were going through.God showed me its not so easy to get yourself out of any situation without Him.I prayed and asked God for His help over,and over again.I was a desperate mother.God heard my prayers and answered my prayers within a year.I still pray for assurance,for God to keep the evil away.What was it like?Sometimes I thought God was not hearing my prayers.Sometimes I asked God why was this happening.I even went through fear of death for my loved one.Even fear for my own family.I seperated my family from my loved one.I did what I had to do.God came through for me,for my loved one,and my family.I knew God was our only hope.I leaned on his promises,and His strength to deliver my loved one from this addiction.I want everyone to hear me.I now give God all the Glory for what he did.I praise God and Honor God,for reaching out to my loved one in giving her life back,and bringing her out of this addiction.Amen and Amen

Yes,I believe Abraham's boldness pleased God.Abraham showed God that he had faith in him and showed God that Abraham new God was a just God,a loving God ,a merciful God.Abraham was not trying to bargin with God, that Abraham would do something in return ,instead Abraham was going to God in humbleness,and Abraham is very aware that God is his Holy Father"Abba Father",whom Abraham exalts and magnifies Gods righteousness. I believe God was pleased with Abraham in the way Abraham came to His Father. I believe that God delights in my prayers because I go to him,knowing only God can change a situation you have know control of.Having faith and believing God will work whatever you ask him for the best,or good of whatever you are asking."ASK,SEEK,KNOCK",God will surely help us in our time of need.God said,"I am with you always.God is with us,so we know God will hear us,when we call out to "Abba Father".

Abraham was not going to God and telling God what to do ,Abraham was acknowledging to God he was nothing but ashes and dust,really not worthy to stand before such a Holy God,pleading not to be angry with him for asking,but let me speak one more time.Abraham new what God could do,and what he wanted to do to the wicked,but Abraham stood before God in humbleness,but yet bold in what he was asking God.

Abraham prayed to God asking God to spare Sodom,If there be any righteous among the wicked,knowing Gods"s love for his people.Abraham new God is a righteous and holy God,and can be trusted to do what is right.Abraham knows Gods character will treat the righteous justly.

WELL,WHEN I PRAY I JUST DONT REALLY KNOW WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO.ALL I CAN DO IS JUST PRAY AND ASK HIM.JUST LIKE MOSES DID. WE COULD ASK GOD COULD HE DO SOMETHING ELSE, SEEK GODS FAVOR.ANYTHING WE PRAY FOR,OR ASK FOR HAS TO BE WITHIN GODS WILL.WHEN WE GET THE ANSWER AND IF IT IS TO HARD FOR US TO WORK WITH ,GO BACK ,PRAY AGAIN,TELL GOD ITS NOT WORKING FOR YOU,YOU NEED MORE HELP,PUT SOMEONE IN YOUR PATHWAY TO HELP YOU.GOD GAVE ARRON TO MOSES,THEY WORKED TOGETHER. IM SURE IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT WE PRAY FOR.SOME PRAYERS ARE BIG AND SOME SMALL,AND THE OUTCOME OF OUR PRAYER IS UP TO GOD,BUT I MUST HAVE FAITH AND TRUST GOD THAT HE WILL WORK IT ALL OUT .FOR SOME REASON I FEEL A BIT UNCOMFORTABLE TRYING TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION. :unsure:I BELIEVE GODS WILL IS ALWAYS BEST FOR US.WHEN WE STEP OUTSIDE OF GODS WILL FOR OUR LIFE,I BELIEVE THE ROAD GETS ROUGH. PRAYING AND ASKING GOD FOR SOMETHING OUT OF HIS WILL,I BELIEVE IS ASKING FOR GOD TO BRING WHATEVER IT IS YOU ARE ASKING INTO HIS WILL. OUR PRAYERS CAN CHANGE GODS MIND,AND GOD WILL CHOOSE TO DO SOMETHING ELSE,BUT IT IS STILL IN HIS WILL.

"ASK NOT,AND RECEIVE NOT"!! RIGHT?~~I BELIEVE WE SHOULD GO BEFORE GOD IN PRAYER WITH HUMBLENESS,BUT YET BOLDNESS.WE MUST NOT JUST SIT BACK AND LET THINGS HAPPEN THAT IS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.INTERCEDE,PRAY FOR GOD TO STEP IN AND MAKE A CHANGE FOR THE GOOD.EVEN IF IT DOES NOT TURN OUT LIKE WE WANT IT TO,IT WILL BE GODS WILL AND DESIRE TO TURN A BAD SITUATION INTO SOMETHING GOOD OR WORTHWHILE.GOD CAN MAKE A DIFFRENCE IF WE ONLY ASK.OUR PRAYERS DO MAKE A DIFFRENCE,AND WE MUST BELIEVE IN THAT.OUR PRAYERS SHOULD BE SHORT AND RIGHT ON TARGET,DON'T BEAT AROUND THE BUSH,AND MUMBLE.BELIEVE IN CHANGE TO WHAT YOU ASK GOD FOR,KNOWING GOD WILL MAKE A DIFFRENCE,AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT..DONT JUST PRAY IT AND FORGET IT,FOLLOW UP ON YOUR PRAYERS.CHECK ON WHOMEVER YOU PRAYED FOR.SEE HOW THEY ARE DOING.EVEN NATURAL DISASTERS CAN BE PRAYED FOR.GOD IS ALMIGHTY AND ABOVE EVERYTHING,AND IN CONTROL OF EVERTHING.I GIVE GOD ALL THE GLORY FOR WHAT HE DOES FOR ME.GIVE GOD ALL THE GLORY WHEN PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED.AMEN
