I believe in prayer. I believe God answers prayer. And sometimes I even remember to pray about stuff! I am always amazed that it takes me a while to remember to pray about certain things...I know my nature is to worry first pray later...I want to change that about myself but I think it will take a lifetime.
Again today I was worrying. I was worry worry worry worrying...the kind where your mind circles and circles and leaves you spinning on the inside. And I finally remembered to pray...so I did...it wasn't eloquent. It sounded a lot like my worrying only now I was involving God. And then the phone rang. I let it go to voicemail cause I was praying...and then I decided to take a small nap...to rest my mind. Woke up and checked my voicemail and I don't know for sure but my prayer may have been answered. I will know tomorrow. Either way...I know that I can trust God.
I am just so reminded of how much prayer matters.
Philippians 4 near the beginning of the chapter (that would be in the Bible if you aren't a Bible person) talks about praying and about the peace God brings that goes beyond understanding when we take our "stuff" to Him.
Check it out if you want.
So Much to Love

Great post, Jamie... Thanks! I'm never not pleasantly surprised at the power that even a quick "serenity prayer" has to ground and re-center me when I start to spin up. I just have to remember that hard part of momentarily stepping away, taking a deep breath, closing my eyes, and simply saying it. ;) It works!
