Prayers Are Never Wasted

“Prayers Are Never Wasted”

 

Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. Do not stifle the Holy Spirit. Do not scoff at prophecies, but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. 1 Thessalonians 5:17-21. (NLT)

Do you ever feel like your prayers are not being answered in the time frame you want them to be? I think we all have felt this and the hurt in our waiting seems unbearable. Some of us may feel this now more than ever. We all have our own ups and downs in life and then unexpected things hit us.

Are You Struggling?

I was talking with a very close family member this week. We were frustrated over a situation we have prayed for for so long. I told him, we just have to keep praying. He responded to me by saying he was all prayed out. This stunned me and left me speechless for a few moments. Just as I really could understand his frustrations, a verse hit me and I was quickly reminded what 1 Thessalonians says about never stop praying, so I shared it with him.

If you are struggling today, please do not think you aren’t being heard. The bible tells us He hears us! We all want answers to our prayers and guidance through our life. Prayer is essential. It is so important for us to trust Him and his timing.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT)

Counting My Blessing,

About Susan Browder

“Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.”  Hebrews 11:1 I grew up in a small town in Alabama called Boligee. I am a wife and a mom to two sons, Nick who is 24 and married to his sweet wife, Mallory, and Jacob who is 18.  My husband, Nicky, is a person of who I am so proud. Our lives changed forever on September 6, 2014 about 7:00 pm. Our son, Jacob, had an accident that would deeper our faith in God and challenge us in ways we never dreamed. My prayer is that our story will encourage others in their struggles with life altering experiences. My writing will be our testimonies but more than that it is about how we have a loving, caring God that carries us through the most difficult times of our lives.

We would love to hear from you
