Big Prayers

When there is rain, it can create a powerful waterfall. As much, when there is faith, it can create a powerful prayer. We ask God for things large and small. We ask to heal a sickness, to be strong in a dire moment, or perhaps just to get you through a busy day. Never the less, He is there, ready to take on your requests and burdens on His shoulders.   God does not just dwell in the logic and rational realms a we do. Sometimes we need to go deeper in the pool to be able to learn how to swim in God's grace. If we stay in the shallow depths where you can stand easily we will never learn the greater faith, hope, grace, and power that you can have if you swim out of your comfort zone and allow God to edify you.   It can be uncomfortable as well as joyful, the way God can reach a soul. Even so, He is there to make your sour days brighter, and your brighter days even more so. There is always much room for enjoyment, pleasure, and good days if we just believe so and do not get stuck in self pity. God wants us to be happy. Life is and can be made to enjoy. We look at the rich and wealthy as if their richness and wealth makes them happy. Nothing of the material form can out do the joy and wonder that God can give. He can give you blessings that last.   Some of us might have always gotten the short end of the stick. We have stuck with the false truth that we are stuck in that place, always getting less than what you think you deserve. It is true that God can reach you if you have much or little, but there are some of us who do indeed have less simply because you don't ask God for anything big.   When we get little, at times that can be a way that God calls to us. To recognize we have less is the first way to start to get more. Do not be afraid that God can't bless you with the things you want. He can give what you want and even more at times. Do not always stick with the simple prayers, but learn to ask big, keep your faith about what you have asked, and let it come into reality. All you have you do is believe. You may fall off the path of faith of what you have asked. Do not worry. He knows your not perfect. There is always doubt, but doubt can keep faith alive so do not fret.   Think of your faith as a tunnel view sense of sight. Whenever you ask for something, always try to see what you want at the end of that sight. When you see other thoughts, doubt, or fear, try to clear your sight so you only see what you want. May these words help your faithful sight and help you to remain a strong believer in the Impossible. For anything is possible with God.
