This scripture is one I memorized when I was 16 years old during my summer in India between my junior and senior year of High School. I found it to be one that really carried me through a time of growing my faith since I was not among close friends or family at all. Everyone I traveled with was "brand new " to me, therefore the comfort of my Heavenly Father and my time alone with Him was more precious than ever because it felt like......home.
Praying, was a big deal to me then because it was the only time I felt "not alone" even in a crowd of people. Of course, get back to the family and friends and the busy-ness of life and prayer drops down on the importance/need list. Bummer.
Truth though, as we grow in Christ we start to understand what FAITH can do, and prayer that has faith attached to it AVAILS MUCH. A fervent prayer from a child of God who believes wholeheartedly that God hears and WILL answer is powerful and effective.
Let us not fail to pray, but rather choose each day to set apart time to talk to the one who CAN and the who WILL and the one who LOVES us all.
