prayer

Tonight I made several phone calls to contact friends I sent support letters to. But before I made the calls, I prayed. And I prayed specifically. Out of about 30 phone calls I have to make this week, I prayed that I would at least talk to 10 of them. Then out of those 10, that 5 would choose to support me. Ive never really prayed for specific numbers like that, but it showed me that God sure does answer prayers. I made about half of the phone calls tonight, and out of those calls, I talked to 5 people, but ALL 5 of those people have decided to support me financially in some way! PTL! (Praise the Lord! hehe!) When I looked at those numbers, I was just amazed! God totally blessed me tonight. :) Honestly, prayer is something that I have a hard time doing because most of the time I picture it as secluding myself to a quiet place. And if you know me, I dont really like spending time by myself, especially if Im not up and "doing something." However, this has been a reminder for me to be faithful in prayer. God really does show up and can do marvelous things. Pray, and pray earnestly, purposefully, and specifically.
