Serving God is simple, praying is simple. Too often we (especially me) try to make things more complicated than they have to be.
Praying is one of the most simple things we can do. So simple, in fact, that it almost makes prayer seem to be ineffective. But the complete opposite is true! Prayer is easy but its the most powerful thing we can do! Have you ever heard someone say, "Well, I guess, all we can do is pray..." Saying that is comparable, in a war, to saying, "Well, all we can do is drop an atomic bomb..." Prayer is access to the most powerful force in the universe. Do you realize that we have access, anytime night or day, to the God of the universe, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the great I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!! If we really understood that how our lives would change! The great I AM wants to talk to me? He wants to be my friend? He is just waiting to hear from me and to move on my behalf! Wow! God is so good! And He wants to help us with EVERYTHING from fixing our hair to saving our sick child. He wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives. And He wants us to realize the power of prayer so He can work in the earth. This is how God chose to operate, through prayer. Prayer releases Him to work in the earth. So pray about everything. Pray all through the day. Prayer can be so simple as, "thank you God" as you cook dinner. I can't tell you how many hours a day I pray because basically, I live in prayer. I am almost always praying. Many of my prayers just consist of "Help!"
Now, I am not saying that life is simple. Life has challenges. But life without God is hard, very hard. But life with God means we always have someone to turn to. We always have hope. John 16:33 says, "In this world you WILL have tribulation, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world." So if you are facing a situation in your life today, any situation big or small, drop an atomic bomb on it! Do you have unsaved loved ones? friends? neighbors? Drop a prayer bomb on them too!
Be blessed! God is Good! Feed yourself a good spiritual meal today.... I think I will.

AWESOME thoughts. I need to hear about prayer. It does sometimes seem like uneffective, too simplistic. . . But I love your "atomic bomb" wording. And that is the truth. I pray a lot too, and more than I used to, and still, not enough. Many times lately, just prayers of gratitude. I am thankful for you. . . and this sharing of your thoughts and wisdom!
Love you!!
Your are such a blessing to me and to everyone who knows you!
