PRAYING FOR OURSELVES AND OTHERS...

Recently, I have been made aware of so many loved ones ...who are struggling with illness. They and their family members are all struggling to cope. It may be a scary time for some.

In fact, it seems everyday, another person I know, either directly or indirectly is sick and needs our prayers.

ILLNESS IS HORRIBLE...BUT PRAYING IS GOOD.

It helps us bond with God. It allows us to attach ourselves to HIM more closely. Praying makes us focus ON GOD. WE TALK TO HIM. WE SHARE OUR FEARS AND CONCERNS WITH HIM. THAT IS GOOD FOR SEVERAL REASONS.
1) Praying unites us to God.
2) It can make us feel better.
3) After we express ourselves to HIM, we can feel a sign of relief. We can exhale.
4) Peace sets in, even if only for a little while...

Praying for Ourselves and Others is good because it brings us to God.
It makes us remember, WE ARE NOT ALONE !

By praying to God, we are not informing HIM of our illness
or a family member's or a best friend.
HE ALREADY KNOWS EVERYTHING.
PRAYING is a way for us to honor GOD AND OURSELVES.
HE wants to be their for us and HE is.

Talk to God.

If you are sick, please talk to God.
If you have a loved one who is sick, please turn to God. HE will make you feel better.

There is ONE BENEFIT TO ILLNESS... if you allow it to,
IT CAN BRING YOU CLOSER TO GOD.

GOD HEARS ALL OUR PRAYERS...

Talking to God and Praying are the same thing.

Praying can make us feel better...
If you would like to leave your name
or have someone you love...
to pray for, please do.
