Prayer changes things

Prayer changes things

I am a huge believer in prayer changes things... When you believe in something bigger than you, in something you cannot see but still have a deep faith.

Prayer has been part of my life these last 7 years. To me its like breathing, it's just what I do but as my faith walk has evolved so has my prayers.
I use to just pray about me and the things I wanted or needed, of course I prayed for my girls.
I was always grateful for all he's done but I never prayed for others.

When I got divorced there was a service and my Bishop said
"You needed to pray for others, even your enemies" he went on to say (Yes, I cant make this up) "You should even pray for your ex's"

I am thinking is he nuts? I should pray for my ex, this man who made my life miserable for 24 years and robbed me in the divorce? Him? I should pray for him? Oh, I'm praying that his sorry ass gets hit by a bus. Oh hell no, maybe he should pray I don't wring his neck!
Okay, this was in the beginning of my faith walk and I wasn't so "Christian" then.

He went on to say, "We needed to pray for them, so that we may get our blessings" Well I am a good student of my Bishop and so I started to pray for him. I prayed he would change his ways, I prayed that he would be a better father to my girls. I prayed that he would forgave me and own what he did in our marriage as I had done. Then I started praying for others as well, I prayed for my family, my friends, my co workers who have closed minds and even for everyone who did me wrong. Yes, I even prayed for Mr.Con Artist, yup everyone!

Every night I prayed for so many people until it became natural. It wasn't just about me, it was becoming a blessing to others. So one day when my bestie texted and said she wasn't coming to the gym because she was going to a praying circle, I said okay, then a second later I texted back and said please pray for me and two other friends I knew needed it.

Yes, I am so in tune with prayers that I have others pray for people I know.
Well, that afternoon I was so peaceful at work. My other friend who we prayed over said she also had a peace over her and she didn't know why and my third friend, took a huge step to changing their life and sounded so very happy that night.

Really prayer doesn't work? I prayed that God would take my drugs and alcohol problems away, as I laid on my drug dealers floor after a 8 day coke binge. I walked out of his house and have been clean for 29 years. Or that years later he would take away my cigarette problem as well. I prayed he would give me courage and strength to change my life, I prayed about my business when I had no job.
I prayed about a home for me and my girls after the divorce, a home I now own. I  prayed for my children when they got into trouble and things were bad between us and I am standing here as living proof that, yes!Prayer changes everything!

Has it all been roses and sunshine? Oh hell no! There have been many storms but through them all I pray, I know my prayers help and I know what he did and continues to do in my life so I no longer worry, I just pray.

Ever notice how lately as you scroll down Facebook or other social media that more and more people are posting about prayer and God? Now that I said that you will notice. Yes, more and more people believe this, more and more people are looking to God to help them deal with their life.

Look at the basis of the book The Secret, which by the way is just a new spinoff of the bible and bible verses. You put out there what you want and it comes, like attract like, what comes around, goes around.
I am here to give my gratitude because I know that my prayers helped others and that when my bestie prayed for us, that God answered all of our prayers.

So today my friends remember to forgive those who have hurt you, then pray for them, pray for your haters, pray for your enemies, pray, pray, pray...
Because trust and believe, prayer changes things.

"Be the change you want to see"
