Prayer

What will prayer do for you? My answer is this: Everything that God can do for you. ~ Frederick William Farrar via Streams in the Desert, 11/2

Prayer is the link that connects us with God. It is the bridge that spans every gulf and carries us safely over every chasm of danger or need. ~ Streams in the Desert, 11/2

God baptizes us with holy boldness and divine confidence, for He is looking not for great people but for people who will dare to prove the greatness of their God. ~ Streams in the Desert, 11/2

Our prayers are God's opportunities. ~ Streams in the Desert, 11/2

Prayer Closet

Sugar Pop and I took a driving trip this weekend. It was six hours each way. Sitting in a car for 12 hours gives me LOTS of time to think. I wore myself out with all that thinking.

I thought about feature I like about my house, things I would have different if I built one, how I would like to live in a small town, how I long for a simple life.

I did a lot of thinking about how neat it would be to have a "prayer closet." It would be the size of a walk-in closet. It would be big enough for a small barrel-back chair, a kneeler, a mantle to hold candles and such, and a book case or some shelves. I would have a light fixture in it that came from an old church. I would paint the walls in a metallic gold and hang icons on the walls. I would burn some incense so it would smell church-y. I would have a CD player in there so I could listen to worship music.
