Prayer changes things. I've had some unanswered prayers in my life and some prayers that where answered, but never seem to take place. I've learned through both unanswered prayers and prayers that haven't come into existence that in order for them to be successful, I've asked God to line my desires up with His will and my thoughts with His plan and remove all other desires and thoughts that were not of Him so that my prayers will succeed. So that when I pray, it'll be God actually praying through me.

The effectual fervent prayers of the righteous availeth much. Effectual fervent prayer = is a prayer that is producing or able to produce a desired effect exhibiting or marked by great intensity of feeling and availeth much = benefits greatly. Now, that's an awesome prayer that can be reached my communing with God and getting to know Him.

I'm looking forward to strengthening my prayer life with God.

I'll see you all in the forum on tomorrow.
As always, keep me in your prayers, as I keep you in mine.

this is awesome favored. I had a hard time praying not too long ago, brought on by my own selfishness and anger...and humaness. Thank God, He understands..and when we dont know what to pray, the Spirit does...and He does pray anyway. People pray amiss sometimes, asking for things God knows we dont need..or is not in our best interest. When we walk in the spirit, our prayers are more in line with the Lord's spirit. Ive learned to ask Him for my desires and then for His will to be done, no matter what my prayers are.

God does answer though...His answers are yes, no and not now. Keep goin! praying for you as so many are. His perfect will be done in all things and may He give you all the gifts He knows you need.

God bless you!
