Strong Prayer Life, is the best kind of Life!

 Being able to pray and talk to God is one of the biggest blessings in my life. In many countries being a Christian is punishable by death! I have been so blessed to be able proclaim that Jesus is Lord, he has risen, and is coming soon. Being a Christian is a privilege but it doesn't come without it's struggles. On a daily basis, as Christians we have to have mini heart checks. Which allow us to make sure that we stay on the path that is going towards Jesus.

Sometimes we miss our check ups with God and we begin to feel like life is insurmountable. When life starts to feel like it's too hard to handle go to God in prayer! Praying and studying your Bible daily is the recipe for living a life not struggle free, but a life with the tools to handle such struggles.

The Bible speaks on the power that God has in Isaiah 40:28, and it says, "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom." When we feel that life is becoming an overwhelming source of problems and stress when can go to our Heavenly Father in prayer. God never gets tired or weary, he is everlasting and we can take everything to him. 

When you become a person who prays fervently, you begin to understand that life is too short to spend it worrying. You become a person full of inner peace. Peace that comes from laying your burdens at the feet of the cross. Take your burdens to God and leave them there, and you'll begin to see a change in how you handle and deal with the stress and struggles of life. 

However, prayer isn't the "easy fix" to all of life's problems. In the bible it also says, "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." -James 2:26. Prayer allows us to lay down our worries with faith that the Lord will bring us through. That isn't an invitation to sit around and do nothing! It's our time to show the Lord that I have put my complete faith in you to do the things that I cannot, and I will work on the things that I can do!
