I think most of us fall short when it comes to prayer, Miss Vicky.
I'm just learning to make use of it, think of it, becomfortable with
it. I've learned more about prayer and been praying more in the past
year than in all my years of trying to live with God befoer.It is as
if I finally have found access to God, finally begun to respond to
his love and his calling out to me. It just boggles my mind that the
Creator of the Universe cares enough to be bothered with me, wants to
listen to me, is ready to listens to me any time. It is such a
privilege to pray, be allowed to pray
Chris and I don't have a church but I thik if I needed to choose one
thing , one activity or group in a church, i think I would like to
have a praer group or at least some other Christians to pray with.
And as for Ned, I'm happy to pass updates and prayer and he is
thankful to have the e-church family praying for him and i am
learning more about prayer and corporate prayer and praying for one
another in the process. It's such a wonderful gift to all be part of
God's family!
Love in christ,
Doris
