Why Do We Pray?

Good morning and happy Wednesday. So how many of you have prayed for rain? How many gave thanks for the little bit we got? We seem to be good at the asking for what we need part but then forget the thank you part. Do you think we need more rain so you're still praying? Could the answer to our prayers be "no"?  Someone else could be praying for no rain at all, who's gets answered and why?  Why do we think we can change the plan God has with our prayers to Him?  Prayer is for us to open ourselves up to Him to accept His will in our lives. It's not to get what you want. He gives you what you need and He blesses you with what you want  in His time. We will get rain. We may get a lot of rain soon, I don't know. But I do know it will be when God wants it to rain. Don't stop praying. Talk to Him everyday about everything. Just be ready and willing to accept His plan and will in your life. "Let your will be done". The very words of Jesus as He asked not to be nailed to a cross. The answer was "no". He accepted God's will and went and died for us all. "No" is the best answer sometimes. In love always. <><
