Hi, friends! Yesterday I had the honor of being featured on Grace M.'s blog with an article on prayer. Here is a quick glimpse of what I wrote... Have you ever been halfway through telling a story when you realize that no one is paying attention? You nudge your listener and ask, “Are you listening to me?” Once you again have their full attention, you repeat your story. Have you ever prayed and felt like God didn’t listen to your whole prayer? I have. I have received totally different answers than the ones I prayed for and I have wondered if God didn’t listen to my whole prayer. But you know what? I think we feel this way sometimes because we have some misconceptions about prayer. Sometimes we can get so focused on how we think answers to our prayer should be, that we forget who God is. So when praying, here are just a few things you should remember about prayer... Oh Bella, I loved this! Those are all great points. Especially the point about praying about even the seemingly "insignificant" things. One year I was really nervous about something specific happening during our mission trip to NY, and I was talking about it with an older friend, and she told me to pray about it. It honestly felt so insignificant and silly to ask God about it, but that is what I did. The outcome wasn't really a "yes," but it turned out better than it could have.
