Welcome to my blog, or should I say to the ramblings of an old man. I doubt that my ramblings are of much value, but at least I have an opportunity to share them.  So, please be kind and humor me. If nothing else of value stands out in these thoughts, I hope that you at least sense the value I place on a daily walk with the Lord.  That walk is what has provided me with motivation and a sense of purpose throughout my lifetime.  My prayer is that you, too, are experiencing this direction and joy in daily living which is available to everyone who puts his trust in Christ.  So, thanks again for joining me.  Please don't go without leaving some comments here so I can get to know you better as our paths intersect today in this blog.

Does Prayer Change Things


         The following was written by Teressa Vowell and after my recent blogs about prayer, I thought it might be a good reminder of the results of prayer.  Hopefully this will remind us and challenge us to be prayer warriors and to exercise our faith in the Lord.

They say that prayer changes things, but does it REALLY change anything? Oh yes! It really does!

Does prayer change your present situation or sudden circumstances?   No, not always, but it does change the way you look at those events.

Does prayer change your financial future?  No, not always, but it does change Who you look to for meeting your daily needs.

Does prayer change shattered hearts or broken bodies? No, not always, but it will change your source of strength and comfort.

Does prayer change your wants and desires?  No, not always, but it will change your wants into what God desires!

Does prayer change how you view the world?  No, not always, but it will change whose eyes you see the world through.

Does prayer change your regrets from the past?  No, not always, but it will change your hopes for the future!

Does prayer change the people around you?  No, not always, but it will change you - the problem isn't always in others.

Does prayer change your life in ways you can't explain?  Oh, yes, always! And it will change you from the inside out!

So does prayer REALLY change ANYTHING?  Yes! It REALLY does change EVERYTHING!
