Over the past few years, I have begun to pray more. I will admit, I don't do it just to talk to God. I am not there yet. I wish I was, but I feel that it is a process. I pray mainly because I don't or can't do anything else to change a situation.
I have to ask Jesus to take the wheel.
Most of the time I pray to ask God for help. I ask for Him to watch over someone in my life, a loved one, who is struggling, who is hurting, who needs some guidance. Over the past few years, I have prayed a lot more than I have in 29 years. I have had many loved ones dealing with difficult things. It's been hard. It's been heart-breaking to watch my loved ones have to fight to be strong. There is only so much we can do for our friends and our family, that is when we have to turn to other sources.
I prayed at the beginning and end of my half marathon. I was terrified. I was not confident. I was scared. I could not turn back, but I did not know if I could go forward. I ran and I prayed as I ran. My prayers were definitely answered that day.
Prayer can be an amazing thing. For us to admit that we have done all we can and still need help and ask for it is a brave thing.
The power of prayer has impacted my life. It has changed lives of those around me.
Today, prayer, I am thankful for you.
