“With men this is impossible,

but with God all things are possible.”

~Matthew 19:26~

 

From Wanda Kay Perry

Please pray for Laura Genusa from the New Orleans area, and for wisdom for the doctors treating her. March 15th she was in a terrible car accident, hit by a drunk driver. She is in very critical condition. I have never met her, but has a link to her through one of my clients.

Ms. Grace Helen Smith is still at Hood Memorial, but is doing better than she was on Sunday.  Please continue to pray for her.

Thought for the Day: The best praying you ever did

Three preachers sat discussing the best positions for prayer while a
telephone repairman worked nearby.

“Kneeling is definitely best,” claimed one.

“No,” another contended. “I get the best results standing with my hands
outstretched to heaven.”

“You’re both wrong,” the third insisted. “The most effective prayer
position is lying prostrate, face down on the floor.”

The repairman could contain himself no longer. “Hey, fellas, ” he
interrupted, “the best prayin’ I ever did was hangin’ upside down from a
telephone pole!”

Many of you can relate to that. The times when prayer has been most
meaningful are those times when we have been most in need of God’s help.
Times when we were helpless. Times when we were powerless. Times when we
realized how inadequate we were, and how much we had to rely on God’s
power and goodness.

“O Lord, God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before you.
Let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry. For my soul is
full of troubles, and my life draws near the grave…” (Psalm 88:1-3).

In your hour of deepest need, may you offer your most meaningful prayers.

Have a great day!

It’s not the position for prayer that is most important.  The main idea is simply to pray.
