...AND THEY PRAYED

Our women's group at New Harvest met last night. It was one of those "womany" times where they cooked, ate, fellowshipped, shared, and of course, they prayed. My wife returned home excited about their time together. It is good to connect. And it is good to pray.

Prayer works. We've heard all the catch phrases. But they are more than little quotes about prayer. They serve as reminders that it is good to pray. We don't always see the results of answered prayers immediately. Some answers are a process. But we know that prayer changes things. And prayer changes us. The bible tells us that the effective fervent prayer of the righteous has great effect.

Paul and Silas prayed and the prison doors were opened. Daniel prayed and was delivered from the den of lions. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednigo prayed and were kept from the flames of the fiery furnace. Jesus prayed and the sick were healed, the bound were delivered, and the dead were raised. Yes, prayer works.

The process and timing is up to God. I don't know when it will happen, but I am expecting to see some results of last night's prayers. I'm glad the ladies fellowshipped and had fun.

AND I AM GLAD THEY PRAYED!!

Y'all be blessed,
Pastor Ronnie
