As we pray in faith, we are laying a foundation that can not only affect the present but can also touch the generations to come!
When we pray, do we really recognize the powerful and long-lasting effects those prayers can have? I have kept a prayer journal for 26 years and can attest to the above quote. Now, as far as generations go, I haven’t been around long enough to verify that but I can surmise the results of some of my ancestors prayers and how they have come to fruition. My friend, God is faithful and as E.M. Bounds stated, “our prayers are deathless”. Keep on praying in faith and be assured that in His time God will certainly answer those prayers!

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and constant in prayer.”
Great words from St. Paul for us in the good times and the times of struggle. Jesus tells us also that in this life we will have tribulation but to be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world. So…if we think everything is always going to be easy or if someone tells us if we live or believe a certain way then life will be without challenges, we will be continually disappointed. The truth is that life is tough but that there will also be times of hope and celebration. The key to living a fulfilled, contented Christian life is summed up in the last 3 words of the quote above. Being “constant in prayer” will keep us in continual fellowship with Jesus. Abiding in Him brings forth peace and as we get better at hearing His still small voice, He will lead us throughout our day. By the way, if you just read this, send me an email at wakeuppc@gmail.com and I will send you a blessing!
Rejoicing in Hope,
