It's NOT nothing!

Last Weekend, I was watching an episode of one of my favorite shows: 7th Heaven.

Eric {Main character and Minister} was talking with this woman whose ex-husband was harassing her. He wouldn't leave her alone and so Eric booked a room at a hotel for her.

She was so distressed over the situation. She didn't know what to do or where to go next. She told Eric,

"The past few days I've done nothing but pray."

And he replied with,

"Well that's NOT nothing."

Seriously. Who knew t.v. shows could have such profound moments?

I thought this was so important. That lady was as lost as could be. She did not know where to turn to, what her next step would be, NOTHING. All she knew was that God was there.

So she prayed.

Some people think that there is no purpose to prayer... but there is!!! God is always listening and He ALWAYS answers. Even if it isn't in the way we wanted or expected.

We have to trust that God will work everything out just the way we it should be. He doesn't make mistakes.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." - 1 John 1:9

When we are lost and have no idea which way to turn, we should pray. We are not in control; that's God.

 "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." - 2 Peter 3:9

"The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." - Psalms 145:18

Just know... prayer IS something. It is fruitful. Whether it be on your favorite show or in your real life, see the power of prayer! I'm always saying that. :)

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." - Philippians 4:6

"Pray without ceasing," - 1 Thessalonians 5:7

God can move mountains. And if we ask Him, He will!

Right now I'm praying for Ethiopian adoption. It's been cut by 90% since yesterday. This means that there are 3,500 parents out there who won't be able to get their babies home!

This sweet lady posted it all on BlogFrog, and I left this huge reply for her. I am praying. Because even though only 500 adoptions are going to happen now, that doesn't mean she and her husband can't get their child.

"And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” - Matthew 21:22

Blessings!
