Prayer

I just want to clarify something from my post early this morning. It's not that I have not prayed since August. Trust me I have. I just have not prayed like that. I feel like there is different experiences through prayer, and I haven't had that one since my last week with World Changers.
Prayer is a funny thing. It's like sometimes we are too scared to admit to God things, so we pray for everything else, and everyone else. That's what I have been doing since August. I guess I felt like I let God down by breaking up with David. I know, I know that is crazy. But I did. I mean it's not like I say yes to getting married everyday. I said yes because I was committed. So when things didn't work out it's like I had broke that. I also felt like God had let me down.
That is hard to admit. And no I don't really believe God let me down. I believe he taught me more then I have ever learned in my life. But it's been a rough time.
Anyway, what I am trying to say is that... I have prayed since then. I pray for my brother in Iraq, I pray for my Grandma Mary, and My Grandma Barbara. I pray God will tell my Grandpa's I said hey, and don't be disappointed in me. I pray for my parents, and my sister. I pray for my little brothers. I pray for other people I know that need prayer. I thank God for the blessings in my life.
But last night was different.
I know I didn't have to explain that to any of you. But I thought it was something interesting to think about. The power of prayer. The difference in prayer. Totally submitting yourself to prayer. Food for thought anyway.

Dearest Caitie,
What wisdom! Isn't God absolutely awesome? When you go through a valley, Jesus is there. As you walk up the mountain, Jesus is there with you, walking arm-in-arm. And when you reach the mountain top, He rejoices with you. Giving it all over to God frees us to move forward and blesses us with a peace that is deeper than ever before. Reading what you have shared confirms that you are indeed a very special young woman with a deep and God-led spirit. God bless you always.
love, GM Barbara
