It'll take more than prayer!

IMHO, prayer is about faith..faith is about your relationship with God. When we pray, we are communicating with God, which pleases him..
None of us know which prayers God will choose to answer, or how he will choose to answer them..The important thing is the comfort we receive and companionship we share with him, when we pray.. Keep on praying!!!

Keep on praying!!!I totally agree with Ti-da! The coolest thing about prayer is that it doesn't have to be an either-or deal with God....He is so mignificent and awesome that He can, in fact, meets two opposing prayers at the same time...His multi-faceted, multi-dimentional wisdom and understand doesn't require linear solutions to anything! So, though we may see things as opposing viewpoints (sellers or buyers win, for example - not both) He does not .
That being the case, it is important that folks get clear on their visions or dreams and than ask for God's assistance to bring it to pass. It is written, "... delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." I used to think that meant that you could ask for anything - goofy or not, and expect God to be like Santa Claus...I never understood how that verse could even make sense. Thanks goodness that time has changed my heart to understand that getting clear and quiet with Him means that He will put the desires there (give them to you) in the first place... and if He puts them there, He will give them to you. There you have it! Thoughts by Naj this beautiful summer morning! Blessing to all who are walking this journey - may each of you find the desires of your heart and pursue them with tenacity and boldness! I guarantee that the pursuit and the boldness will be much greater abd exceedingly more sweet if you are walking the journey with the one who designed you... ok Shelly and all, I am bracing myself - please be merciful
