Well howdy all biggrin.gif .

Just joined these here Christian forums oh about 63 seconds ago.... and though I'd view the "Prayer Answers and Blessings" forum just to put a smile on my face, and for some inspiriation

And to my surprise blink.gif ..... it's darn near empty !!
I did however notice the abundance of prayer requests (don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with that)

Well I guess I just wanted to remind everyone, including myself again, just how blessed we all are !!! We are WAY TOO BLESSED to be STRESSED !

Our prayers are answered all the time, and let us not be blind to God's grace, we tend to focus on the negative, and neglect or forget to give thanks and praise when all is going smoothly. The simple fact that I can use both my hands and my fingers to type is a blessing, having the internet, having both my arms and legs, THE BREATH I JUST TOOK..... all blessings from God, and I am so thankful for every one of them.

I have one of the most popular Psalms written in big letters on my fridge so I pass and read them constantly.

"The Lord is my Shephard, I shall not be in want"


God provides,
rest assured,
all is well,
it is in his hands.

God bless.

Hi Leanne! You're right about us not paying attention when things are going well but there are a number of other reasons there are more posts in the Prayer Requests forum:

1. When I designed the forums, I decided not to include a number of prayer answers until enough others had posted theirs, so it wouldn't make anyone feel their answers weren't "good" enough.

2. I've been a little lax in moving some of the prayer answers from the prayer request side to the answers side. When people have a breakthrough...they post it on their request thread.

3. The site and forums are fairly new (12 months/3 months) and have little traffic of their own.

4. My favorite reason is this...most of this comes from our 2 evangelistic websites. People go to those sites, ask for God's help with their problems, respond to the gospel message and are referred to the Prayer Requests forum specifically if they want prayer or support. In my way of thinking, then, every post in the prayer requests forum is an answered prayer.



Please join me in praising God for that.

Love & Hugs,
Glen

Thank-you for answering my post smile.gif

And thank-you for putting it into perspective, how true it is, that every post in the prayer request forum IS an answered prayer!

I apologize I didn't mean for my post to sound accusing. Just wanted to make a little reminder for those times we get sidetracked, and are unaware of all our blessings which surround us.

Thank-you for your time in responding to my post, and I'll be working on getting rid of my 'newbie' status on these here forums biggrin.gif

Thank you! I know what you mean about the status "pips." I started the darn forums and still haven't got 4 pips. I look forward to seeing more posts from you.
