He indwells me, He intercedes through me. He reads my groans and my tears and turns them into a prayer. That just amazes me.<BR/><BR/>I can even say just the words, "Jesus" over a situation and He will take that one word and pour more words into it and present it to the Father.<BR/><BR/>How amazing is that?<BR/><BR/>So, when words are few and all I have is tears I can rest in knowing that prayer is going out of me...ALL THE TIME...because of JESUS...<BR/><BR/>He initiates the prayer in me and through me. I only have to follow with the burdens He places on me, offering words or tears or even groans.<BR/><BR/>I just find this astounding.<BR/><BR/>JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553121852669901186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18941653.post-38529075782946544472008-07-16T07:42:00.000-04:002008-07-16T07:42:00.000-04:00Hey to all of you!!

I put on my favorite P&W tracks - set the tone - pray the songs I hear which usually lends to further Scripture prayers - and then interceed. (reducing the volume on this part) Music truly helps me because every time I start the Adoration portion of my prayers on my own that's when the enemy hits the hardest cause he knows I'm about to tap in to the source!! <BR/><BR/>I know this isn't something new to you, but just wanted to mention it.<BR/>Love ya.<BR/>VValariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889118194966934464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18941653.post-21505000768901324262008-07-14T23:19:00.000-04:002008-07-14T23:19:00.000-04:00That is so true Leigh! My friends and I meet on T...That is so true Leigh! My friends and I meet on Tuesdays for a bible study and fellowship...but we single Monday nights out just to spend time in prayer together at the park. Prayer is something I've struggled with since I was in high school when life hit me in the face and flipped my world upside down. Satan has used that incident against me in more ways than I can count to make me afraid to pray. But I'm catching on to his game....and slowly relearning how to pray outside the bounds of fear....and I'm falling in Love with God all over again :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18941653.post-11488014279890341202008-07-14T23:17:00.000-04:002008-07-14T23:17:00.000-04:00Speaking Thru Me...Leigh, This name says it all!

This morning I was determined to spend extra time in prayer...I got up at 6am...spent time in His Word, then my son had to be at the church for 7:30am. Dashed out with the thought I would come home and pray. Then, one sister called - she needed a ride to her church at 8:15am. Then, another sister was removing wallpaper and redecorating and could use assistance. We had unplanned company for supper and now here it is almost 10pm and those good intentions remained only that...good intentions. I can justify that God used me to help others and minister to them today, but that good still wasn't His best. Reading your post here has touched a sensitive nerve. I still have more to do before heading to bed, but before this girl closes her eyes in sleep, she will be closing them in prayer.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>JoyJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010498759199040612noreply@blogger.com
