I believe in the power of prayer.

(Ok so to prevent having my man-hating blog entry be the first thing people see when they look at this page, I'm going to add a new post.)

I believe in the power of prayer.

One of the great blessings (of which there are many) that God gives us is the ability to talk to him and make our requests known to him. I fully believe that He hears our prayers, and when they are asked in pure faith, as our hearts seek after Him, they will be answered. I also believe that bearing others' burdens through prayer is a blessing. So many people have prayed over troubled times in my life, and God has been faithful to them and me.

So here are some things that have been on my heart and in my prayers lately:

* that the Lord would develop in the hearts of all the girls in my Bible study the desire to understand and know Him more, that we would be excited to spend time in the Word because it allows us to know Him more, and that we would seek together during our meetings to learn and understand the God that Paul describes in 1 Corinthians
* that the Lord would provide ten people to go to Sprachcamp this summer (ask me about this if you don't know what it is)
* that God would teach me how to find satisfaction and completion in Him, that I would learn patience and discernment in relationships with guys, and most of all that they would never consume more of my thoughts, energy, or time than God does.

Feel free to post your prayer requests on the comments section. I'd love to pray over you :)
