Prayer is......

 Prayer is......

 Associating with God

Beacon during times of trouble

Chatting with God throughout the day

Developing a deeper relationship with him

Enveloping yourself in his arms and love

Friendship with him that will remain strong and true

Getting wisdom for rough spots

Helping you occupy your thoughts in a God-pleasing way

Ignoring Satan's threats to focus on God

Just the way to get through life when it's hectic

Learning from your mistakes and releasing guilt

Messages straight to God that don't go through a post office

Never leaving his throne room when we constantly pray

Opening your mind to an infinite number of unimaginable things

Presenting your heart to God

Quintessential to growing in faith

Revering God

Sending God a message from your heart

Taking your faith to another level

Understanding a little more about who God is

Verifying your trust in God

Waiting for his answer patiently

Xylophones - harpsichords,  trumpets - organs, praise God through music and prayer

You can pray anytime, anywhere, for anything

Zealously opening your heart to God

A Blank Post

As I sit here typing: I am marring the stillness of a blank post. 

Keys typing black letters upon a stark white, blank post. 

Blank posts make one feel refreshed. 

Yet now this post is not blank.

This post is starting to be filled.

Filled with words, thoughts, hopes, and dreams.

That is what has occurred to my blog. 

I started off with a blank post.

And then I started to fill the blog with words, thoughts, hopes and dreams.

I never knew I'd still be blogging this.

I never knew that this would be one of the best things I've decided to keep doing.

Yet the blank post that started it all, is no longer blank.

It it is marred with love, family, friends, thoughts, dreams, hopes, and words.

Now it's no longer marred. 

Now it's beautiful.

Now it's no longer blank.

Now it's filled with love.

Sometimes a blank post is all you need.
