It Works!

Do you ever feel sometimes that no one is listening when you pray? I think in most cases (or at least in a few of my cases) it's because I'm praying either ineffectively, or without the right motive or goal in mind. In the worship team at my church, we've been learning a lot about prayer. Prayer is a pretty simple concept, but it's easy to let it get complicated. I continually find out, though, that praying for brokenness, and to be stretched, and for patience, get answered very quickly. A lot of things have hit the fan recently, shortly following a prayer that I prayed. It's funny how God responds to those really fast. I think it's because He knows we want to be changed. And I think if we realize what it would take to be changed, that it means that there will be some serious trials. But you have to look at it from God's point of view: trials build character and reflects being faithful to God. Even when the sun isn't shining.
