Prayer...

taken from the book, Find Your Wings....

Matthew Henry said that,"when God is about to give His People the expected good, He pours out a Spirit of prayer, and it is a good sign that He is coming towards them in mercy."

With each step of your journey and each prayer spoken on your behalf, you are drawn closer to the One who planned good things for you.
How does prayer help you along the path? Why is it essential to finding your wings? Augustine of Hippo reminded us that "prayer is not merely expressing our resent desires. Its purpose is to exercise and train our desires so that we want what He is getting ready to give us. (think about that for a moment) His gift is very great, and we are small vessels for receiving it. So prayer involves widening our hearts to God.
Never doubt the power of prayer. Never doubt God's love for you and His desire that you have a future rich in blessings. Ask and you shall receive, knock and the door will be opened.
