BOB
Good morning! This is Bob Peden of Central, a United Methodist Community here in Meridian. The other day I pulled up behind an old green car of indiscriminate origin covered with bumper stickers. The one that really caught my eye said: "Answer my prayers, steal my car." That got me to thinking about prayers and how God answers prayer. So often our prayers become a wish list of things we think might make our lives better, easier, or more comfortable. We approach prayer like it is our magic genie list of things we want God to do for us. We lose sight of the relationship with our Abba Father that is such a blessing in prayer. We lose sight that prayer is in itself a great gift of grace because the Spirit intercedes for us when we pray. Maybe worst of all, we lose sight of the power of prayer to help us rejoice in the blessings we've already received from God. So, when we pray, let's remember to always give thanks. It can be the always and every time blessing when we pray!
