I have been studying the Prayer of Jabez. The first part of the prayer is about asking God for blessings. The book about it is very good. A short and easy read. The prayer can be found in I Chronicles 4:10. I highly recommend that you check into it.
Anyway, my prayer life has increased immensely in the last few weeks. I want to be to the point where I just carry on a conversation with God all day long. Going to him with everything. Every decision and every concern I have. Today, I was in the grocery story check out line. The lady in front of me could not get her card to approve the purchase she was trying to make. She kept trying to take things back out of the sack and trying the card again. After 2 or 3 minutes, the man behind me kind of mumbled, "what is going on up here?" I thought, "come on dude, the lady is having trouble." Then I prayed, "Lord, please bless this lady..." and before I got further, the guy said, "let me get up here and pay for this for her." I started crying. I had just asked and God had just given. I was amazed at how awesome God really is. The lady that was with this man looked at me, and I told her as the tears ran down my face, "I just started praying for God to bless her, and He did. Right here, right now." She said, "yep. That's how He does it." I said, "God is so good."
I continued to cry all the way out to my car. Just in awe of how amazing God is. And just how amazing prayer is.
Dear God,
I pray that you bless anyone who reads this. Whatever areas they are in need, sweet Father, bless them. I love you Lord. And thank you for blessing me. Amen.
