“We all know the benefits of prayer and that we as Christians and children of God know that it is our line of communication to our Father in heaven..Amen..but somehow we fall short from praying and truly having a prayer life..Amen..because thinking a thank you God type of prayer is not the same as a heartfelt prayer to the Lord..Amen..because when we fail to pray we leave so much room open to the enemy..and I say this because when we pray we enter into Gods presence..Amen..and in His presence everything in our lives begins to change but mostly we change..because we are drawing close to Jesus..and in doing so it softens our hearts and minds and begins cleaning up those things of ours..because if we fail to give everything to the Lord then as well we begin to receive everything from everyone else in life..and to be honest I do not want someone’s opinion or what they think or even feel about my life or my choices..because they themselves don’t truly know..Amen..it’s only on others parts suggestions to us..and what they would do or say or how they would respond..and guys we as Gods children have to know what God thinks about our lives and our choices and our decisions that we are making..it’s only Gods wisdom and guidance and direction that any of us should be seeking out..but much rather we don’t and we fall short..instead we let flesh get in the way..we begin acting as we used to act and talking as we used to talk and begin making decisions and choices how we used to make them..and we cannot do this..and except somehow to thrive and live well rounded blessed filled lives..because it’s not gonna happen..we will instead be in a constant state of discontentment and confusion..because our ways are not as the Lords ways..(Isaiah 55:8-9)..He does things totally different than what we do..and what He knows of us and our lives is perfect for us..He says His plan and His will is to give us hope and a future and good bright filled one at that..Praise the Lord!”

“So for us all this morning please don’t let us get into our own heads so to speak..but instead let us pray..Praise the Lord..let us talk to our Father..let us give Him everything..because everyday of our lives from the moment we wake up till the moment we go to bed we have so many decisions and choices that need to be made..and with the help of God and we include Him things are much better..our choosing our decisions..our attitudes..everything..Amen..so the Bible has many scriptures on our prayer lives but I’m gonna give us just a few to read..it says to us to be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving to let our request be made known to God and the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus..(Philippians 4:6-7)..Amen..it says cast all our cares on the Lord for He cares for us..(1 Peter 5:7)..it says cast all of our burdens on the Lord and He shall sustain us that He will not suffer the righteous to be moved..(Psalms 55:22)..it says pray without ceasing..(1 Thessalonians 5:7)..it tells us to continue in prayer with thanksgiving..(Colossians 4:2)..it says call unto me..and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you know not..(Jeremiah 33:3)..Praise the Lord..so my final conclusion for us all is this..please do not let us use prayer as a last resort after we all have done fallen apart and took ourselves through the mill..but instead I pray we use our prayer lives first and foremost taking every single care and burden and problem and question straight to our Lord and Savior..and as we do knowing that He gets busy working on our behalf..He gets busy changing and rearranging everything for our good and for His glory..for prayer is the answer to everything in all of our lives..prayer is the key to opening and closing every door and every window that God knows needs closing and needs opening..so let us pray at all times..let us do as the word of God tells us to do..for we have our answers we just need to take the right steps into getting them moving forward for us and our lives..and we do that by receiving from our Lord all of His wisdom and mindset as we go and enter into His presence..because there is where we are changed from glory to glory..and life gets sweeter and better truly as the days go by..Amen!”

”For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen & Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
