On Our Knees

"Call unto Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3

"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." James 5:16

A group of 6 girls and I have started a Wednesday morning prayer group. Throughout the week, we have ample time to worship, fellowship and hear great speakers/pastors, but this hour of time is solely committed to prayer. We pray for each other, our campus, our nation. It is absolutely the greatest way to begin a day...on our knees.

May we always remember the POWER of prayer. The Lord is listening, present, real, alive, and has a plan. In a Beth Moore study I did a while back, I remember her giving me a new glimpse into the world of answered prayers. Sometimes, she said, when we pray, God has answered with a YES, but has to wait to reveal that YES to us. When we are waiting, it can seem like He's said NO. But He truly may have heard our prayer, answered us and is now waiting for the proper time to reveal the answer. Isn't that a great truth?

Stand on the firm foundation of the Lord today! Abide in Him.
And let's all stay on our knees.
