I received a beautiful "prayer bowl" this past week in the mail. What a delightful surprise! (Thank you Janelle) One of my favorite verses is written on the outside and inside is a colorful bird. A packet of cards came with the bowl where you can write the names of who you are praying for. You place them in the bowl as a reminder to pray. There is a verse in scripture that says our tears are collected in God's bottle or a bowl? ...........and our prayers are too, I expect.
Recently I heard Kris Vallotton say we need to remember to P.U.S.H in our prayers. Pray Until Something Happens! You may have prayed the same prayer over and over....for healing, for restoration in relationships, for finances. So what do we do when you pray and nothing seems to change? We keep praying. We pray and we give thanks believing something will happen. In the Bible it is called "fervent prayer".
On the large sofa table in front of where I rest is a plaque that says "You Got This" that was given to me by our oldest daughter. Now on the other side of this table is the prayer bowl with this scripture...
"He will cover you with His feathers,
and under His wings you will find refuge."
Psalm 91:4
Both are reminders from God. Whether we speak to the mountain, rebuke the enemy, use a prayer language from Holy, ask and seek, or give thanks for what is coming, a close relationship with God is the gift given to us when we pray. And certainly it is not just about us, as there are so many in need of our prayers. I am sure, like you, I can easily fill up the prayer bowl. Lord hear our prayers this day, and let us never forget............
