All during that prison time I really lived by prayer. Be in prayer always were told and back then I was.

Prayer aint weakened by distance.

Choose to view life through Gods eyes. This will not be easy because it doesnt come naturally to us. We cannot do this on our own. We have to allow God to elevate our vantage point. Start by reading His Word the Bible...Pray and ask God to transform your thinking. Let Him do what you cannot. Ask Him to give you an eternal divine perspective.

The most blessed result of prayer would be to rise thinking But I never knew before. I never dreamed.... I suppose it was at such a moment that Thomas Aquinas said of all his own theology It reminds me of straw.

I believe God has heard my prayers. He will make it manifest in His own good time that He has heard me. I have recorded my petitions that when God has answered them His name will be glorified.

Thats where thinking started where thinking stopped where all her prayers so long ago had dried up. She no longer prayed nor even dreamed of changing her father. Her dreams now played variations on the theme of escape. And they were nothing more than that just dreams just play. Shed been alone at the end of her dreams so many times before and never had God helped her escape her father because God couldnt because she would never escape her need to love him.

Time and again I hear how important the darker environment is to those at our vintage-faith worship gathering. Attenders feel they can freely pray in a corner by themselves without feeling that everyone is staring at them.

Meditating on the nature and dignity of prayer can cause saying at least one thing to God Lord teach us to pray

Where there is prayer the fallen spirits have no power.

Prayer is an acknowledgment that our need of Gods help is not partial but total.
