I find sometimes I will pray for something and then forget to thank Him for the answer.

Your farm sounds so lovely. <br /><br />I totally get the "as needed" prayers, and can say I felt a similar level of surprise when the Lord prompted me to begin to regularly pray for myself. I'm thrilled that discovering my book has encouraged you to begin a new page in your binder and life, the "Tucking Sandra into Prayer" page.<br /><br />Blessings to you!

I pray faithfully for family and friends who just need God's help in life. But you're so right that I need prayer too. And some of my needs, only I know about, so no one else can pray for me in those areas. Hmm. Must ruminate on this.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.com
