@sarah-h, That’s great! 🙂

@jess that’s fine.

I for one agree with @kate-flournoy and @Daeus. God actually commands us to pray to Him in many places, one of which is Isaiah 55:6 “Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.”

@clairec Have you read the operation series? There are five books in the series and they are wonderful. The titles are Foxtrot Five; Delta Bravo; Alpha Papa; Tango Two Two; Uniform Echo. The author is DJ Stutley. If you haven’t read them, you should look them up. They are set in Australia too.

@jess Change of plans; I can write in 20 minutes if you want. I have some rewriting to do.
Anyone can join if they want.

@bluejay, It’s okay, I didn’t either! 🙂

@daeus, @jess, @clairec Just letting you all know, I won’t be writing today. Sorry.
@daeus, thanks for the points above. 🙂

@Daeus beautifully said. I couldn’t agree more. God doesn’t need us to ask Him— He wants us to because He is a Father, and He loves spending time with His children. Prayer is a form of worship.

@corissa-maiden-of-praise I’m saying God says wait……………………………. then He either says yes of no. And what God answers is always right, even if we don’t see it right there and then. Faith is to trust Him no matter what the answer is or whether we understand it or not.
Does that help you understand my pov?

Ooh, good discussion @Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise. I haven’t done a lot of thinking on this, but the first thing that popped into my head when I read your post was this verse:

The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but deliverance is of the Lord.
Proverbs 21:31

Quite simply, we are instructed to prepare and leave the rest to God. As @Hope is…[Read more]

Okay, I’m going to present some different viewpoints; I’m not saying I agree with them, I’m just saying I’ve heard them used and I’m curious how you will respond to them.

@hope Christ says in Mark 11:24, “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” He’s obviously not…[Read more]
