Give thanks in everything, for we are truly blessed!!!!

Prayer-What is It? Thetus Tenney

Prayer is breath to the spirit, it is the lifeline to the soul, it is the tether to the eternal.
Prayer is communication between creature and Creator, it is the eye into the invisible, it is the ear to the unspoken.
Prayer is the access into the heavenlies, it is the activator of the miraculous.
Prayer is man's enlightenment to the mind; it is understanding to the emotions.
Prayer is man's greatest opportunity, it is man's daily challenge, it is man's amazing possibility.
Prayer is the mystery of all mysteries.
It is as complex as creation.
It is as simple as a child's talk.
It is the most powerful power available to man.
It is the seed of all things possible.
It is the finality of man's ability.
Prayer is man plugged into God, it is God working through man.
Prayer is creative. Destructive. Cohesive. Dividing. Awe-inspiring. Frightening. Possible and probable.
Prayer is bigger than can be imagined, it is faster than a beam of light.
It is endless in possibilities, it can be more concentrated than an atom.
Prayer is forceful. Tender. Shattering, Healing. Complex and simple.
Prayer has never been totally understood, completely explained, or utterly exhausted.
It is beyond the wisest man's comprehension, it can be effectively used by a child.
All the words ever known can not adequately describe it. Yet it can be reduced to a single word.
Every language can speak it. Only God can understand it.
Practice it and find peace. Believe in it and find faith. Let it consume you and really live.
Prayer- the unimaginable, incomprehensible, obtainable connection between the finite and the infinite, the earth-bound and the Almighty who fills the universe.
Prayer- God's gift to man.
Use it. Engage it. Revel in it. Reap from its riches. Sing it. Read it. Think it. Speak it.
" Men ought always to pray....."
The bible is a book of prayers. There are over 600 recorded prayers.
There are desperate prayers and prayers of devotion and thanksgivings.
There are requests and rebukes and repentance.
There are prayers of destruction, life-giving prayers, and multiple intercessions.
There are prayers from a lonely woman, a fearful child, a frightened fisherman, a patriarch, an apostle, a prophet, and a disciple.
Leaders prayed. Nations prayed. Friends prayed. Groups prayed. Individuals prayed. Sinners prayed. Saints prayed. Jesus prayed. " When you pray..........."

NEVER BEEN CAUGHT

NEVER BEEN CAUGHT
When some fellow yields to temptation
And breaks a conventional law,
We don't look for the good in his makeup,
But, Lord, how we look for the flaw.
No one asks, "Who did the tempting?"
Nor allows for the battle he's fought,
His name becomes food for jackals,
The Saints who have never been caught!

I'm a sinner, oh Lord, and I know it,
I am weak and I blunder and fail,
I am tossed on life's stormy ocean,
Like a ship that is caught in a gale,
I am willing to trust in Thy mercy,
To keep the commandments You've taught,
But deliver me, Lord, from the judgement
Of the Saints who have never been caught!
