Today I was sitting at my laptop, visiting Wordless Wednesday posts, and feeling really stressed. No – I wasn’t stressed about the WW posts, but about some other issues swirling around in my mind.
So I got up and went outside. I sat down on my porch, closed my eyes, and with my face turned to the warm sun, breathed out a deep breath and prayed. Not any specific words, just breathing out the stress and worry and leaving it in God’s hands. And that made me think of this Thursday Thirteen list. |

Janice, this is one of the best Thursday Thirteens I’ve ever read! I could actually use it as a devotional! Wow, we as Christians don’t take advantage enough of the wonderful gift of prayer. Thanks for posting that, Janice!
Suzy says
Thank you so much for reminding me WHY I SO NEED TO PRAY! It’s sad that I get bogged down in everyday existence and tend to put prayer on the back burner. It’s not that I don’t talk to Him…..I do daily. But a time specifically to Him for prayer, He and I alone, face to face, is what I need to do, and more importantly, what He DESIRES me to do.
~~Hugs~~
Jenn says
Yeah! Excellent post! Very encouraging!
Susanne says
What a great post! Exactly what I needed! I love how you gave scripture with each comment to back it up!
Addie says
Wow Janice! Great post. That was a real encouragement to read.
Heather says
Amen to all of those! Thank God that we can go to Him no matter the need or the situation!
Michelle says
Cool idea! Wonderful reminder of the POWER of prayer! And I would add – I know God cares about my small stuff.
My 13’s up too.
But more on your list; one reason I believe that prayer does this and God listens and responds is that He is eternal, not in time . . . so he has ETERNITY to spend with/on each one of us, so yeah, I do ask Him if He would help me find my keys and know that He cares – yes – about my keys. It’s wonderful to be loved like that!
