Prayer is an amazing thing.
Especially prayer for each other.
Do you ever find yourself saying "I'll be praying for you!", and you don't?! I know I have. But it's something I'm working on.
God has really pushed on my heart recently the power of community and the power of prayer in that community. I truly believe that prayer does make a difference! And honestly, when I ask someone to pray for me, I'd really hope that they would if they said they would! So that's what I'm doing. I have a prayer journal and I write down any and all prayer requests so I can be reminded to pray for them all!
--It actually reminds me of little Kailey who has a prayer journal :) I wish I took her idea sooner!
Then I want to mention not just praying for each other at this time with the prayer journal, but all the time. Christ tells us to pray without ceasing. I can pray while I'm walking to class, while I'm doing homework, and I can praise His name always!
So my new found challenge: PRAY! And really don't just stick with praying for the little things, but really open up your heart and pour it out to God. He's waiting...and He's always there...something that I still need to remind myself.

For some reason I often find prayer to be the hardest part of my faith when logistically it's really the easiest thing. I think we tell ourselves that we have to stop what we're doing, fold our hands, close our eyes and pray in a specific way. Lately I've been trying to remind myself that I can pray while I'm working, when I'm eating, when I'm doing whatever. My prayer doesn't have to look or sound a certain way. Jesus already knows what's on my heart and I simply need to open myself up to that.
You are always in Matt & my bedtime prayers :)
