Prayer was the topic at church today and the pastor mentioned this quote which got me thinking
"Keep praying, even if you only have a whisper left."
Prayer was the topic at church today
and the peace it brings when we pray.
"Then you will experience God’s peace,
which exceeds anything we can understand.
His peace will guard your hearts and minds
as you live in Christ Jesus.
During the time I thought of our family and today specifically
of our three grandsons.
I recalled them interacting together at the beach and around the pool.
The smiles, laughter,bright eyes
and challenges as well.
I then, as clear as the day today,
I saw them as young adults interacting
together
on a bright summer day, laughing, smiling, strong - joking with each other.
I was with them talking and enjoying the time and I was recalling the scripture that was shared today.
I wanted to write these thoughts down, to record them, so when they do get to be young adults someday they can recall the mercies of God.
“Let this be recorded for future generations, so that a people not yet born will praise the Lord.”
I have been listening to a new song the last few days and the lyrics were made alive in my heart as I was walking on a trail this afternoon thinking of prayer, the peace it gives, and those who have been examples to me in prayer.

"You are the one who provides for me
You are the one who makes a path for me
You are more than enough for me
And fear could never conquer me
'Cause You already have, yes, You already have
I thought about my own sons and the experiences we have had together and also the times we have had to lift one another up in prayer both in the good times and the not so good times.
"Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying."
“More Than Enough" by Jesus Culture ft. Kim Walker-Smith
Verse 1]
Beyond all my wildest dreams
Your grace is alive in me
I'm caught in the overflow
Of mercy that won't let go
[Chorus]
Here on this holy ground
Standing before You now
Jesus, You are more than enough
If there's one thing I know
It's how You love me so
Jesus, You are more than enough for me
[Verse 2]
Finally my eyes can see
You've never abandoned me
I'm held by the kindness of
A Father who won't give up
My Father, You'll never give up
[Chorus]
Here on this holy ground
Standing before You now
Jesus, You are more than enough
If there's one thing I know
It's how You love me so
Jesus, You are more than enough…
[Bridge]
Forever strong, forever faithful
All my life, You are enough for me
In every storm, in every battle
All my life, You are enough for me
Forever strong, forever faithful
All my life, You are enough for me
In every storm, in every battle
All my life, You are enough for me
[Chorus]
Here on this holy ground
Standing before You now
Jesus, You are more than enough
If there's one thing I know
It's how You love me so
Jesus, You are more, You are more
Here on this holy ground
Standing before You now
Jesus, You are more than enough
If there's one thing I know
It's how You love me so
Jesus, You are more, You are more
Oh, You are more than enough for me
You've opened my eyes to see
[Spontaneous]
You are more than enough for me
You are more than enough for me
Tell Him tonight
You are more than enough for me
You are more than enough for me
Leave behind the past and all the ways it was done before
Laying down my own will, my own strength to take up Yours
'Cause You are more, You are more, than enough for me
Sing it tonight, we believe tonight
You are more than enough to me, Jesus
You are the one that never fails me
You are the one who fills me to overflowing, to overflowing
You are the one who provides for me
You are the one who makes a path for me
You are more than enough for me
[Bridge]
And fear could never conquer me
'Cause You already have, yes, You already have
Fear could never conquer me
'Cause You already have, You already have
And worry could never conquer me
'Cause You already have, You already have
Worry could never conquer me
'Cause You already have, 'cause You already have
No fear
Fear could never conquer me
'Cause You already have, You already have
Fear could never conquer me
'Cause You already have, You already have
[Outro]
You are more, You are more than enough, God
There could never be a shortage, there could never be a shortage
'Cause You are more, You are more than enough for me
You are the river that never runs dry, the fountain that never runs dry
Run to the fountain tonight, drink from the fountain tonight
Oh, drink [?] there
