Many times I have found that prayer is not the typical thing us as Christians do when faced with joy.  In fact, when everything is going great we forget to talk to God. It saddens me to think that the only time I turn to God is when I’m searching for His hand. I never seek after His face. God has been challenging me with this very thing for a few months now. I used to talk to God all the time. I would talk to Him as if we were speaking face to face. God has put that desire back into my heart and I am so grateful. Prayer is not just for talking to God. It is also for spending time with God. How awesome is that!? I get to spend time with my Savior who died and bled for me. Jesus is my resurrected hero! Just the other day I was in the café at school and saw one of the workers break down crying. I felt God tugging at my heart to go over and pray for her. I argued with God about not knowing her and other stupid excuses. Then I saw another co-worker go and hug her. Satan tried to tell me then that I was not needed even though God had given me clear instructions. Praise God that I chose to do as I was told rather than what I was tempted to do. I went over and laid my hand on her and asked if I may pray for her. She said “please do.” After praying she felt much better and encouraged. Now I know it was not me that made her feel better. God was the one who gave her peace. I am so blessed that God chose to use me to be a blessing. No matter what Satan may try to say to keep us from speaking to God we must not let it happen. We should not try to put it off until later because most likely we will forget. There is nothing in this world that can match the power of prayer and my God!
