Hello wonderful people!  So this has been on my brain for a little while so I thought I would share. I believe for a lot of Christians, at least I know from personal experience, prayer can be a tricky balance between talking to a wish granting genie, bestie, and an all powerful ruler. I know I catch myself sometimes praying and after I finish a prayer, thinking about my words; and often they are all about me and my requests. It is hard to not get caught up it our "requests" we have for God. I remember in Sunday school they taught us to pray with an catchy acronym, which I can't remember (so maybe it wasn't so catchy). Although I do remember the point they were teaching. They said when we pray to 1. Praise God and all he is 2. Thank God for all he has blessed us with 3. others needs and struggles and lastly 4. ourselves in that order. When I started to pray like this it was so cool I would get lost in prayer it was awesome! I challenge you guys to start praying like this for a week or two and see if you notice a difference! Feel free to leave comments or email letting me know! Thanks for stopping by! Morgan.
