I want to tell you a secret…
Nine years ago, I wrote a post about secret prayers to our Father.
Since that time, I also shared this concept with my children.
Recently, my 20 year old daughter, Presley, came to me and said…
“Mom! I have been praying some secret prayers for a while now and I just looked back and realized that God has answered many of them! I am amazed!”
I was so encouraged by this! It was a faith builder in my heart and it came at a time when I needed the reminder of the power of prayer.
Browsing back through the pages of this blog, I found the post.
6 letter word that changed my life…
If you were to ask me the one thing that has MOST changed my life and my relationship with Jesus, the answer would be one 6 letter word…
Prayer.
However, prayer came much later in my faith walk. I mean, yes, I would pray at times, but it was not until much later in my walk that I began to fervently and intentionally pray.
Pick 5…
Several months ago, I began praying for 5 college students by name.
A couple of these kids I know pretty well, and a few I do not.
It was a burden that The Lord put on my heart one day as I was sitting on my back porch praying.
I wrote their names down in my prayer journal, and looking down at them, I wondered…”Why these names, Lord?”
I did not hear a reply.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
— psalm 143:8
