hay girls read what Jennifer Kindberg had to say in her comment under {Mom is acting like a teenager} Pray pray and pray some more.

Ok ladies, what have you learned this week while studding prayer and reading chapter 1 in the Preparing book? I have a story to tell you that happened this week with me and my daughter. My husband went to town to pick up a few things for me. After he left I remembered that I needed dog food and some herbs for my mom who was sick. He forgot his phone so I could not call him and tell him, so I looked at Gracie my six year old and said, “We need to pray and ask God to get daddy to stop at The Herb store and to get dog food as well.” She is a true believer in prayer and said “Ok Mom and started praying with me.” When he got home, he walked in the door and said, “Did you want me to go to the herb store? I felt like you told me to stop, but it was not on the list so I didn’t’” I laughed and told him that we had prayed that he would stop. I teased him that he did not listen to God, he just laughed at me. I asked him if he got dog food and again he said, “I was in the store and saw a lady with some and thought I should get some but decided it was not on the list so I didn’t get any.” I thought it was great that he even thought about it. It tells me again that God is there directing us, but we are free to decide what we are going to do. Later that day my sister came with some herbs for my mom. Then my friend was at the store that same day and remembered that I had needed dog food and got some for us. That night when I was at her house she handed me the bag of dog food and I started laughing and told her how we had prayed for dog food that very day. She thought it was great. When we got back into the truck to go home Gracie said “Mom I think God told her to get us dog food because Daddy forgot it.” I laughed and said “I believe you are right Gracie” The Lord is truly there answering even our little prayers. Think what God could do if we prayed BIG, not just for Dog food but for the world to be reach with the gospel of Jesus Christ. What if we prayed for God to raise up men to serve him, and then if we were to pray that those men’s ears and hearts would be open to hear what God is directing them to do. Think about it ladies, we could send forth an army of men to fight Gods battle. Remember Matthew 9:36 Jesus was walking with his disciples and he looked out upon the multitudes that were scattered and had no direction and he had compassion on them. He told his disciples. “The harvest truly is plenteous but the laborers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.” The harvest is ready, but without laborers the fields will be burnt. Remember the verse, {His blood will I require at thin hand.}Ezekiel 3:16-21 Is our lack of prayer putting the blood of those that will never hear the gospel of Jesus on our hands if we do not send forth the laborers? This is just a thought. What have you studied this week? Share time!
