Take heart brothers and sisters in Christ!

God answers the prayers of the filthy and unworthy. His grace extends past our lack of faith.

Ephesians 3

14For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15from whom his whole family[1] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

I've been praying since January that God would financially provide for me in my ministry and reveal to me how I can make the money I need to purchase equipment. After a month and a half of prayer I recieved a letter today from my Mom with the exact amount of money I needed. This is the power of prayer, this is Gods grace, I certainly wasn't faithful the whole time. I doubted. I became anxious. But God was faithful. Please don't think that I'm righteous or deserving of this in any way, and thank you to all of you who earnestly prayed for me.

Its not important that God took care of me monetarialy, its more important that he hears and answers prayers. I want to encourage all of you to continue to pray for your family and friends that haven't found the peace and joy in Christ yet. Pray for the sick. Pray for the lonely. Perservere.

I'd like to encourage you also to use your journal to bless others with prayer requests and answered prayers.
