"Pray, Ingrid, pray!"
Most of my life I have struggled with prayer. I've struggled with discipline, a wandering mind and a questioning heart, "How do my prayers make a difference since God is sovergeign?". These past couple years I have seen answers to my prayers in amazing ways! Despite the answers, prayer is still a mystery to me. However, I know that God says,
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
I have so many things on my heart, so many worries and I know that I need to give them to God. I have been painfully reminded twice, in recent weeks, that I need the Holy Spirit's guidance in my actions and words. I need to be daily asking for wisdom, patience and His guidance in my life. There are people I cannot help, cannot change, a future I cannot control but I know, God can! So I am striving to pray! Are you?
