Real Talk by Dennise

We continue to examine how our Heavenly Father taught us to pray. When we  understand what we pray it strengthens our focus and the way we pray. Sometimes we recite words out of habit but when we understand what we pray we learn to pray with more effectively.

A good friend said to me one day, in a quite daunting , negative tone Dennise " Prayers Are Just Words of Comfort" I felt a little nudge , and it got me thinking as to that persons thought process.  Yes prayers bring comfort but I strongly believe in the power of prayer . Sometimes we pray out of  habit and repetition, not understanding the words we pray or why we pray. We just say words...

Its not worth it. Life is short forgive even if its not your fault . less physical and emotional pain. We van make our transition at any given time tomorrow isn't promised, lets keep our hearts clean.

During this life you will experience emotional hurt , learn to let it go quickly it is more of detriment to you than the other person. Let your heart be free and clean.

No one can put a time limit on grieving, however we can't stay there forever as its not good for our mental health. We must come to acceptance, which is a process that requires less dependence on self and more reliance on God. We can't do this in the physical it has to be dependence on our comforter the Holy Spirit. Invite Him in your space , shut out all distractions, PRAY and Cry OUT!!...
