Specific

I remember the times I prayed very specifically for something.

Like when the twins were born early.

And were in the NICU.

I prayed for T to come off CPAP.

And for C to learn to suck, swallow, breathe.

And I prayed specifically for this mom (DIL) to have a baby.

Last night I was reminded of a passage in the bible:

Luke 18: 35-42

A blind beggar wanted his eye sight restored.

He ask Jesus to heal him.

And though Jesus KNEW what he wanted,

Jesus wanted him to be specific about it.

Jesus said "What do you want me to do?"

"Lord, I want to see....."

And his sight was restored.

Be specific in your prayers.

Ask the Lord to bless your children with a christian spouse.

Ask Him to heal your cousin who is facing heart surgery.

The Lord knows, but He WANTS you to be specific.

I was also reminded to be specific with people.

We often say *Let's do lunch.*

But we never get specific.

I want to be better about saying

*Let's do lunch. How about Wednesday at 12:00?*

If we are specific in our prayer and in our daily living,

We will start to see changes.

Being specific is a goal of mine.

God hears my prayers.

A Day To Remember and Pray

Pray

Our youngest son, daddy of the twins, was in an accident last night. 
He is in surgery now to repair some pretty serious damage to his arm.
 Please pray as we wait.

Pray For Kelly

Three years ago I asked for prayer for Kelly's daughter, Harper. 

Today I am asking for prayer for Kelly.

Please pray for Kelly. You can visit her blog HERE.

*I Pray Just About As Much As I Breathe*

I have a friend who is going through a very difficult season.

Because I love this friend dearly, I have been on my knees for her and her family.

I try to check in with her daily just to let her know how much I care.

As I talked with her this weekend and asked her how her day had been, this was her reply:

"I pray almost as much as I breathe."

Whoa.

"I pray almost as much as I breathe."

Not only did that describe her hurt and her pain, it described a heart  for Jesus.

It described the way He wants our hearts to beat for Him. 

It described her longing for Him to intercede.

It described  how much we need a Savior. 

My friend's words reminded me of how pleased my Lord is with her

......and how we should all

"pray as much as we breathe."

Will you join me in prayer for my friend?
