prayer life.

prayer changes things.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. [philippians 4:6-7]

one thing i am challenging myself to do is improve my prayer life. my pastor had a great sermon lsat week. main points:

1. God wants to bless you.

2. we dont ask.

3. we pray little prayers.

4. dare to ask for the best.

5. be bold.

6. stretch your faith.

7. if you PRAY bold prayers, God will do bold things in your LIFE.

sometimes i feel like some of prayers won't be answered because they are silly and i am praying for things that aren't important to God, but yet i still want them. and i know i shouldn't have that thought, because if i pray for something from God, it is important to Him.  God takes a interest in my life and if it is important to me, it is important to Him. my pastor challenged us. he asked us if prayer was important to us. he said, if it was we need to be serious about it. have a prayer list. so that is what i did. i unwrapped my new journal that i bought on super clearance at borders and began my prayer list. 

and i will end with something that my pastor said on sunday. "go for it." pray big things, pray small things, pray bold things, just pray.
