Prayer
Read the 2012 Advent Devotional, written by LCC members, coordinated by the Prayer Ministry team.
Meets 1st & 3rd Saturday, 7:00 am, at the church. Everyone invited!
Prayer is certainly an act of faith. Many times I've heard messages about child-like faith. I recently had the privilege of seeing one of those sermons in action. My son Rusty, myself and granddaughter McKinzie were out for lunch. As the food came, Russ said to McKinzie (who is three), "Mawmaw will say the prayer for our food." With such joy she said, "Dad, I can do it!". Sure enough, she prayed a cute little prayer, out loud, and she didn't care who heard her. She was so happy to pray.
Can we be that happy to pray and know that God will listen and care? I know that sometimes doubts come in and I think, 'Why pray? God didn't answer my last prayer yet. Why waste his time and mine?!'
But then, where is faith in God, if we see everything in advance? God is faithful to us. When doubts come in, pray for the attitude of the man who asked Jesus to heal his child. He said, "I believe! Help my unbelief!"
Childlike faith is the way to success in this world. Do you believe that the Lord will be faithful to provide for your needs and desires? He is waiting to hear and see your enthusiasm for life with Him. He is waiting to bless a child-like faith today. - Carolyn Myers
