Are your prayers floating in space?

Do you ever feel that when you pray,  your prayers are not potent enough and  just floating in space? Maybe you feel  your prayers are like a letter you would send to a large company to express your feelings on a certain matter. Though that company receives your letter, it gets shuffled in with all the other complaints, requests, and suggestions. Although we may feel that way at times, that is not true with God! All of our prayers matter to God! We don’t just pray out there in the great beyond and our prayers are forgotten.  Prayer with praise moves the heart of God, which moves the Hand of God! Read Rev. 8:3-4! We can pray with confidence and encouragement in the God that longs to commune with us.

Revelation 8:3-4 (Amplified Bible)³And another angel came and stood over the altar. He had a golden censer, and he was given very much incense (fragrant spices and gums which exhale perfume when burned), that he might mingle it with the prayers of all the people of God (the saints) upon the golden altar before the throne. ⁴And the smoke of the incense (the perfume) arose in the presence of God, with the prayers of the people of God (the saints), from the hand of the angel.

He hears me, even when I am in my distress

Thank You God for hearing me even when I am in my distress. No matter where I am, I know that You hear my voice. 
I was brought to the book of Jonah, where he ran from God’s calling on his life and was brought back to Him through extremely rough circumstances. Being in the belly of a large fish, Jonah had no choice but to pray a “belly prayer”!  Our “belly prayers” happen when the circumstances in our lives are so broken that we have no other choice but do what Jonah did, that is, to cry out to the Lord in prayer! Just remember that nothing is beyond the reach of prayer because no prayer is too hard for God to answer.


Jonah 1:17-2:1-3 (AMP)
Now the Lord had prepared and appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. THEN JONAH prayed to the Lord his God from the fish’s belly, and said, I cried out of my distress to the Lord, and He heard me; out of the belly of Sheol cried I, and You heard my voice.
For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the floods surrounded me; all Your waves and Your billows passed over me.

Our Accessible King

Jesus is the King of the Universe whom we can access at any given time. All we need to do is to come to Him at all times! If we want to access earthly kings, leaders, and priests, we have to go through "red tape" or they will make themselves inaccessible to regular people when it comes to royalty. Not so with Jesus! Our king (the Creator of the Universe) Jesus is accessible to us all the time! Praise the Lord!

Romans 8:15-17 (Amplified Bible) ¹⁵For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father! ¹⁶The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God. ¹⁷And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory

Isaiah 55:2-3 (Amplified Bible) ²Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your earnings for what does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness [the profuseness of spiritual joy]. ³Incline your ear [submit and consent to the divine will] and come to Me; hear, and your soul will revive; and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with you, even the sure mercy (kindness, goodwill, and compassion) promised to David.

You are with me

Lord, this world is constantly changing. Even my physical body is changing with time. But you promise that you are the same yesterday, today and forever! 
You will be by my side through all eternity.

Hebrews 13:8 (Amplified Bible) Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages).

Revelation 1:8 (Amplified Bible) I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord God, He Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty (the Ruler of all).

Psalm 102:24-27 ^{24 (Amplified Bible)}I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days, You Whose years continue throughout all generations. ²⁵At the beginning You existed and laid the foundations of the earth; the heavens are the work of Your hands. ²⁶They shall perish, but You shall remain and endure; yes, all of them shall wear out and become old like a garment. Like clothing You shall change them, and they shall be changed and pass away. ²⁷But You remain the same, and Your years shall have no end.

A Prayer for Care

Lord, many times I go to church with a "fake face" telling everyone I'm ok when in reality I'm carrying around a load of guilt, shame, worry, anxiety and condemnation. Please, help me to be honest with You and those who care. You have set me free from the law of sin and death! Thank you Jesus for taking my care.

Philippians 4:4-7 (Amplified Bible) 4 Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say, Rejoice! (A) 5 Let all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness (your considerateness, your forbearing spirit). The Lord is near [He is [a] coming soon]. 6 Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition ( [b] definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. 7 And God's peace [shall be yours, that [c] tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall [d] garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Psalm 103:1-14 [A Psalm] of David. 1 BLESS (AFFECTIONATELY, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits--3 Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy; 5 Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle's [strong, overcoming, soaring]! (A) 6 The Lord executes righteousness and justice [not for me only, but] for all who are oppressed. 7 He made known His ways [of righteousness and justice] to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. 8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy and loving-kindness. (B) 9 He will not always chide or be contending, neither will He keep His anger forever or hold a grudge. 10 He has not dealt with us after our sins nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great are His mercy and loving-kindness toward those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. 13 As a father loves and pities his children, so the Lord loves and pities those who fear Him [with reverence, worship, and awe].
