Great point, David. The more we’re in the habit, the broader the conversations can be because hopefully that reduces the “as needed only” prayers.

God was graceful to give you grace. 🙂 I love when he works so plainly.

I love this one too, June, because I *need* this one! God won’t always change our surroundings, but he always is working on transforming us.

Not being alone in the prayer process–isn’t that such a comforting thought? I love that God created that into us. Thanks, Linda.

And I love that when we can’t pray, others can. And the Holy Spirit interceeds.

We are not alone in this prayer process. And for that, I am thankful, Lisa.

Thank you for this needed reminder …

I’m with you, Barbara. I always pray first for the direct healing, but if not, then help me endure it!

“Make it go away” – yes, that’s my first request too. I think God understands. 🙂 But yes, fixing our eyes on him is always the best and lasting answer.
