Prayer Conference

I am so excited to let you all know that the next few days my husband and I get to bathe in the presence of the Lord as we learn more about prayer! Our church is hosting a wonderful conference for pastors and laymen called "Seek Him to Save Them". It's all about prayer and equipping the saints! There will be people from all over the world attending this great weekend to make the Lord's House a House of Prayer! I can hardly wait to mingle with every tribe, nation and tongue as we learn together how to become a true house of prayer. Go to the website to check it out! and if you think of it...you can pray for us as we experience this great time together!

Lord, Speak to my heart this weekend and reveal to me the wonders and mysteries that you want me to know. Allow your Holy Spirit to invade every nook and cranny of my soul so that I may be full of you and nothing else. Protect us and guide us as we embark on a wonderful journey with you to the very throne room of heaven. Speak to us Lord and purify our hearts. May we glorify and honor you in all that we do. May we seek you facedown in worship and praise for you are truly worthy. Hallelujah! Amen

thanks for the grub
yeah God!

I have always found this prayer to be extremely shallow and annoying. It seemed that dinner time prayer for families that used this little ditty of a prayer were saying it as only a token prayer. Didn't mean a whole lot to them and was just a ritual that qualified as prayer.

Now, don't get me wrong, I know that some of us could pray that prayer and really mean it. Our family enjoys singing the Johnny Appleseed song before meals sometimes...so I'm not totally against having a little fun in praying to the Lord. It just concerns me when it it is taken too lightly.

I didn't intend to talk about meal time prayers in this blog...but the title was so catchy and what I am about to tell you has revolutionized my thoughts on this prayer.

A few weeks ago, kindredspiritMom shared how she was inspired by someone else to use the time her weblog took to load to pray for unity with her husband. I was struck by this as an "aha!" moment. It doesn't take long at all for my weblog to load, so I have found a wonderful solution for when I could pray longer for my husband.

The last 2 weeks I have been using my morning shower time as a time for prayer specifically for my husband and our relationship. It is growing into a full blown time of prayer with the Lord about all the things that go on in this house during the day. I always take a shower in the morning. But I don't always make it up in time for my morning quiet time. The kids generally beat me to getting out of bed.

So this new solution is marvelous!

It has been nothing short of a miracle taking place in my life and my marriage. My DH and I have been doing really well lately, but now...let me tell you! It's like happy marriage SUPER CHARGED!

Praying for Unity in our marriage has been the best thing I have ever prayed for. I can't tell you how amazing this is! The Lord has surely done an amazing thing in our lives! I am so thankful for that inspiration and hope others can be inspired as well.

The Lord is waiting to bless you today. Seize your shower time into your prayer time and voila! Your 15 minutes turns into a blessing beyond belief!!! The Lord's waiting to give you a hug in the tub!
