I always have a hard time praying....just getting on my knees or climbing into my "warm" spot and praying .. .  its like He already knows !

BUT :
Perhaps you are thinking that we need not bother to pray then, if He knows everything already. Not so. Jesus instructed us to pray, not because He needs it, but because we do.  We pray because it is natural for us to talk to our husband friend! Conversation is one means by which relationships grow. God loves to hear us pray and as we pray, He meets us and gives us His strength, peace and wisdom. As we reflect on His Word and pray to Him, we receive everything we need for "life and godliness" (2 Peter 1:3). We cannot weary Him with our sincere prayers. He always has time for us and always answers in ways that do us good and bring glory to His name. 

John says in 5: 13-15
this is the confidence we have in approaching God ~~
IF we ask anything according to his will
     He hears us
IF we know that He hears us, whatever we ask
     we know that we have what we asked of Him.


I read yesterday:

A small circular smudge began mysteriously appearing on our fridge door every day. I would wipe it off, but each day it re-appeared. I finally discovered that my husband was using the fridge door as a vertical prayer mat, leaning his head against it while filling the kettle for our morning tea. I never wiped that smudge off again! It reminds me how blessed I am to have a husband who is faithful in prayer for me. 

The Bible tells us that the prayers of a righteous man are effective....


I KNOW Mary D and Sheri spend time in prayer for me and I am so blessed to have them in my life.
I would be nice to have a husband to share my time with to love and be loved and pray for me . .  but God has not chosen that path for me.  Makes me sad.  Maybe I should do as He asks of me, and ask.

I would like a man who says this:


I'm of course looking for a woman that loves Christ. Someone to go to church with every week. A special person to worship God with. Someone to hold hands with and pray with.
When the day is done that is our most important bond.
