Praying

Been reading Nehemiah lately, I'm still workin on the first chapter, it's been a week so far. Nehemiah means "comforted by God" and the first thing Nehemiah does in the book when he hears about Jerusalem's broken walls, is he prays. I'm trying to pray more recently, any chance I get. We're not praying so that God gets what He wants, we pray so that we get what we need. Prayer is power, prayer is comfort, and prayer brings so many other things as well. We go through so much trouble and worry just because we won't pray. As I'm preparing to teach on counseling for a session this weekend, I've been able to put together a few principles related to relationships, particularly one with the Lord. Most of the principles revolve around the interactions that take place within the relationship... which means there must be a mutual exchange for anything to grow..that's why it's important to pray. Also, one thing I heard at the men's conference this weekend was that you'll know passages in the bible if you live in them. It's like knowing your address, because that's where you live. So if a particular passage from God's word is one you've studied and applied to your life, you'll be more prone to remember it and repeat it. talk to you later.

Happy
