Day 2, and I DID Sleep ...

I DID sleep last night. Praise God! Things are much clearer after a good nights sleep.

Here are some thoughts on prayer in general:

The wonderful thing about prayer is that you don't have to be famous, or have lots of money, or influence, in order to be heard. You personally -- each and everyone of you -- have a direct line to God. Most of you don't use it though?

God does not always answer our prayers in our time, and sometimes, He answers in ways that we do not understand, but He does hear us, He does listen, and He does care.

If you are not one who is accustomed to praying, or if you have doubts as to prayers effectiveness: why not give it a chance? What have you got to loose? I mean, you buy lottery tickets? Prayer is FREE and you have a better chance of winning.

One thing to remember when you pray: you need to be specific! Praying "God please make the world a better place" is a good sentiment, but you might get better results if you put in more specifics -- just like you would in a "Google Search."

I've had several people say to me in emails that they have, at moments, had doubt and wondered: Where was God when the mother in story (from Day 1) took the life of her own daughter?

Well, here is what I believe:

As for moments of doubt: we all have them! That is part of what makes us human.

Where is God during moments like the one in the story? ... Well, He was probably right there beside that young girl.

Unfortunately, God gives us freewill, and the Mother in the story used her freewill to take her daughter's life. Because God gave us freewill, sometimes innocent people are allowed to suffer. God won't force Himself upon us: we have to choose Him. God can only speak to and work through those who open their hearts up to Him. And that is what we are praying for in this Prayer Campaign.

Please pray with us today. Your voice does make a difference!

God Bless and Have a Truly Wonderful and Inspired Day!
