If You Believed In Prayer....

I woke to "if you believe in prayer..."

In that one sentence was a whole conversation. If I believed in prayer, then I would not allow myself to get so stressed out about things. I would believe that God is in control, I would believe that He hears and answers prayers. Then I would be a happy camper, not so serious and sullen, as I get sometimes when things when issues of the world pop up and they seem so very 'godless."

I mourn in my heart when someone has an issue that God could answer with a great and wonderful victory, but He is not known, and nor is there any desire to know Him. But, if I would pray, and if I would believe that prayer changes things, then I would rejoice that there is another opportunity for the Hand of the Lord to move on someone's behalf, even when they do not know it.

My declaration: To believe that prayer changes things.
