I'm gonna copy you, Jared...

Here goes, y'all...

My efforts to be a consistent woman of faith will be chronicled here. My hope is that this will create some extra sense of accountability. I, like Jared, am prayer journaling. Not only does it keep me in a daily habit, but I feel more of a connection with my Jesus when I am writing. Drifting thoughts are not a problem when I am talking (writing) to my Lord. Plus, its neat to go back and see how God has worked in your life and in others lives and how your prayers helped.

I am currently reading Beth Moore's "Breaking Free." Great book ,if you need a good one to read. The book is about the benefits and obstacles that keep one from receiving the benefits of having a REAL relationship with God. The chapter that I read today is a bout the obstacle of prayerlessness and the benefit of peace. Beth says, "... peace is the fruit of an obedient righteous life." She reminds us that "the better we know God, the more we trust him. The more we trust him, the more we sense His peace when the wintry winds blow against us." (Eph. 1:17) Not only does prayer bring us peace, but it gives us protection, power and PASSION! "... it turns cowards into conquerors, chaos into calm, cries into comfort. The enemy knows the power of prayer!"

Mark 1:35 tells us of how even Jesus prayed with His face to the ground! Pray, pray, pray.
