Wednesday Devotional...6/18/13
I was shopping today for a specific
item that I could not find anywhere. I searched for a nearby employee
to ask if she could help me. Lo and behold she knew exactly where it was, in
which I was very thankful and let her know. I felt a nudge in my heart to ask
her if there was anything specific I could pray for. She immediately said yes,
and that very recently her nephew had died unexpectedly. I shared that I would
most definitely be praying for her and her family for God's comfort, healing
and peace.
I don't think many of us fully realize the power
of prayer when we connect with our Mighty God. Prayer is a simple act yet when
we are plugged into the power of God we can be assured mountains will be moved!
As we pray in faith believing God hears and answers, lifes are forever changed
and God is lifted up.
In James 5:16B it says...
"The effective,
fervent prayer
of a righteous man avails much."
When our relationship with
Christ is right and pure, we can be confident the heavens will open
as we pray and intercede on behalf of others.
I count it a privilege to stand in the gap for
those in need. As we pray and watch the hand of God move, we can clearly know
that many shall see His goodness and give Him all the glory!
In His Radical Love,

The person who prays and has conversations with God effects changes through Him. It is the most

Thank you Sandy and God bless...
