I love this reminder that the power of prayer is in the One who hears it, NOT the one who says it. It takes the pressure off of us thinking that we have to have the perfect and most eloquent words, doesn’t it? Our prayers, as awkward as they may seem at times, do matter and make a difference. So let’s keep praying. And let’s choose to let go of how inadequate we think our prayers may seem at times or how weak we feel when we pray. Prayer connects us to an all-powerful God who is in full control of every detail/outcome. If you and I are praying about it, we can be certain God is working on it. 

I believe in the power of prayer. And what I’m learning is that prayer really changes us. It has a way of transforming our hearts. I would love to pray for you. If there is something specific you’d like prayer for, please comment below or send me a message. It’s been my experience that we can think about asking others for prayer, but ultimately decide we don’t want to be a burden. God didn’t design us to do life alone. We have to be willing to be vulnerable and transparent. And yes, it can be a little uncomfortable. But in doing so, we let those close to us encourage us, pray for us, and support us in times when we need it most. It’s actually a blessing, NOT a burden, to pray for others and walk alongside them as they go down a path they were never intended to walk alone.
