“Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. ” -Psalm 27:7-8 (KJV)

today, i started to try to collect my memories over the past 3 years.
it was hard.
made me wish i had kept a daily journal.
oh well…

i realize just how much i had been through.
i realize how much prayer had been such a powerful weapon for me.
i couldn’t have fought that battle without it.
i can’t fight this battle without it.
i will not be able to fight any battles that will come without it.

in prayer i need to praise Him,
confess the things i have done,
and bring Him my needs
and the needs of others.
i must also practice hearing from Him.

it’s really not too different from the relationships i have with my closest friends.
i only have a few close friends that i keep in touch with to this extent.
this kind of relationship takes total trust and unconditional love.
it takes time to uphold those kinds of relationships.

the relationship you have with God directly reflects in the relationships you have with others.
it takes time to pray.
it takes time to see the manifestation of prayer.

but all the time in the world is worth it when i hear God’s voice.
all the time in the world is worth it when seeking and witnessing His face.
all the time in the world is worth it when i witness my prayers answered.

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” -Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV)
