The Power Of Prayer

People come into your life for a REASON, a SEASON, or a LIFETIME. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life…Smile and stop here if you’re not into this final part: This is to show people you love them and to see how many people love you! Don’t feel embarrassed because only you will get the results.
PRAYER:
May today there be peace within you.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you
are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that
are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing that you are a child of God. Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul them freedom to sing, dance, and to bask in the sun. It is there for each and every one of you.

God’s destiny … I was just thinking about this today. Actually about how we were brought together with someone. We suited their need at the time. That was the reason. Things have changed. Altho’ we will always be in each other’s hearts the relationship has changed. The recognition & acceptance makes it special knowing you ‘filled’ someone else’s reason.

i am really touch, you know there are times when i am ignoring my responsibilites as a wife to my husband due to my hectic schedules but, after reading this piece, it seems that i was awaken from a deep sleep. I called my husband and i told him ”i’m sorry” with a tears in my eyes. I was thinking before when the person you love is just there for you, it that’s it! But, It’s wrong. Carol, thank you! God Bless You Always.

This has been true for everyone I know. As we grow up, needs change and so do our friendships, some will grow with us and go through life with the growth pains in friendships that is necesary for growth, somce will be there with us to teach us lessons we need, and then they move on. But the most important thing is to never Not give a person wanting friendship …..a chance. They are usually on a mission from your angel for you that you might not be aware of. Only God knows our future. We never know when we have entertained angels unaware.

It is such a nice piece. It answers so many questions that people ask themselves. ie. Why did he/she walk away from my life….Lets treasure what we still hold in our hands, bse we never know how long it will last. Some people are angels for sure but do not expect an angel to sometimes look smart or talk well. Your response is what matters and you may have missed your blessing or received it right there. Never take for granted anything that God brings in your life, but pray to God to see how u can be a blessing to such a person or to show u if he/she is a right friend. Most of all, help people in need, bse if that person is an angel, all your breakthroughs will begin from there. Share the little you have with people who reach out to you in need. Our God talks and can reveal to you a good person or bad person. Pray about everything and for the people who come in your life.

This really touched my heart, cause someone walked into my life one day and for a reason I didn’t understand, but, I cared for this person, even though we didnt know each other all that long. I was given the biggest blessing ever, I was told I would never be able to carry a child and I got pregnant and had a beautiful angel boy at 42, He is absolutely the love of my life. His dad is 41 and also has no children, so even though sometimes we don’t understand why and we question things. God gives us blessings in the things he gives like the little first smiles of our baby, or the sweet precious kisses, but, I gave my heart back to god for giving me this wonderful gift, and even though sometimes we question why people come into our lives, it may take us a while to understand, but, when I look into the eyes of my beautiful angel. I know why I met his daddy. Even though were not together. He is a very very loved baby and is special to alot of people especially to his mommy who when i look into his eyes I thank god every time for giving me a chance finally to know what unconditional love is and for letting me borrow an angel of his and thinking enough of me to let me raise him, and I promise him, I will not fail him on raising him, I will teach him its not the material things you have but, its the love in your heart that you hold that matters. I am so so truely blessed and I love god with all my heart, And I love my baby boy more than any words could explain, I am so so thankful! So, I want to say thank you god and I am giving him all the praise and glory for our little boy. He is so precious! God is good~

God knows us all and really wants us to know Him better by relating with him morein prayer. Prayer is really the centre and core of our life without which we can have no head-way in life. This piece really inspires me. God bless the composer and all who will read it.
