Lord make me less like Jonah and more like Jesus. Save me from being the kind of person who cares more about my comfort my reputation and my success than I do about the people You are calling me to serve. Help me to keep all of my dreams on Your altar and be ready at all times to respond with faith and obedience to Your call.

Prayer did not come easily to me for I always feel that prayer is a silent things and opening of the heart. To ask for earthly benefits to reel out a list of requirements and expect them to be supplied is not prayer. It is putting God in the same category as an intelligent grocer.

Plan and plant your gifts. Pray and play your role. The harvest is assured when God manifests his anointing power in your passionate actions.

For many of us prayer means nothing more than speaking with God. And since it usually seems to be a quite one-sided affair prayer simply means talking to God. This idea is enough to create great frustrations. If I present a problem I expect a solution if I formulate a question I expect an answer if I ask for guidance I expect a response. And when it seems increasingly that I am talking into the dark it is not so strange that I soon begin to suspect that my dialogue with God is in fact a monologue. Then I may begin to ask myself To whom am I really speaking God or myself

Somebodyd better pray for him dont you think He IS a lost soul.Pastor John Linton

Imagination is the road less taken but it is the pathway of prayer.

For what is the amount of all his prayers but an attempt to make the Almighty change his mind and act otherwise than he does It is as if he were to say thou knowest not so well as I.

Know child that the One GodHe is so vast that He cannot be moved else the Universe falls. Nor can He answer for the very act of opening His Mouth is Movement indeed the greatest Act of all for it is the Word. And this is precisely why He has made an infinity of lesser gods creating them in His own image so that we can do the lesser things on His behalf. We are His hands and arms and feet and mouths. We are His answers to your prayers enacted along the great Framework of Being.

Maybe if we all prayed for somebody else somehow wed all be forgiven.
