Days of PURPOSEFUL Thankfulness – Day #38

Note: Refer to day number 1 (July 25, 2015 post) if you don’t know what this is all about.

Today I am grateful for the power of prayer. Whether or not you do it much, don’t do it at all, or don’t believe in it, I’m doubtful that you haven’t been the recipient of someone’s prayers that worked in your favor. And if you say, “I do it but I never get an answer,” you may want to reconsider whether or not that’s true. If your child or someone asks you for something and you told them no, they may have not liked the response but you surely didn’t ignore them. Often we just don’t like the “answer” to our prayers. At this point in my life I am grateful that I’ve gotten enough no’s from God that now I’m at another spot. I can more readily accept that He has good reason than I was able to accept in the past. Over time I’ve been able to look back in each situation where there was a “no” or “wait” and almost cringe; God saved me from some bad situations. So, learn to be thankful for the various answers that help you to see that there really is a “specific” plan for your life. One more thing I want to say, if you pray watch what or to whom you’re praying. All prayers are not equal; prayer is a very sacred and spiritual thing and it really does matter where our prayers are directed. I sincerely believe there is Someone Who sits high and looks low; He’s listening. For me…my life proves it. I don’t believe in luck and I’m no self-made woman.
