Prayer is a beautiful thing.  It can get you out of some really tough situations.  Prayer often is used in vain.  Some of us only pray when needed.  Some of us only #pray when it is necessary.  Prayer is so important in our lives that we need it everyday.  Don't take #prayer lightly.  It is true that "Prayer changes things."  It is true that "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."  It is true that "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. 

We have to have faith only the size of a mustard seed.  Now that is not asking for too much.  Our faith is much bigger!  Pray in season and out of season.  In other words when things are going good and bad.  Don't get so relaxed in our own skin that we forget how we arrived and don't know where we are going.  No man knows his or her destiny or predetermined events that will happen in their lives.  We can choose our paths but God is in control of our life.  We should pray for his guidance daily so we can be protected from things that can harm us or our family. 

We never know when God is protecting us from something tragic.  Listen when he is speaking to you! Don't ask why?  If you normally drive down a certain street and today something just caused you to turn off, do it.  It could save your life. Praying daily in the spirit developes a close relationship with God that you need.  Try talking to him daily and see if your life will change.  Remember to Live Love & Pray daily.

Matthew 7:7,8  "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."

1. expresses gratitude: used to express gratitude to somebody.  I thank you: the usual expression of appreciation in use today · thanks · An expression of gratitude: said their thank-yous and departed.    

How many times do we say Thank you?  Do we say thank you enough?  This is a phrase that is overlooked all the time.  Sometimes pride get in the way of us just saying two powerful yet small words that could change someones life.  I love to give thanks where it is needed.  Say thank you!  If there is no response back that's ok as long as they heard you say it.  Your reward will come in great measures.  Treat people how you want to be treated in return.  You never know who is watching you.  Be careful to set a good example for children and adults. 

To me saying thank you is a sign of growth and intelligence.  Thank you can bring peace to a situation and set the pace.  Remember to love yourself first.  To do so, you have to show respect for yourself and others.  "Oh, give thanks unto the Lord. " Give thanks to the little things.  When you are eating out and the waiter brings you a glass of water, say thank you.  Don't wait for the entree.  I try to give thanks to everything in my life.  I found that it can put a smile on someones face.  Try it and see what happens.  Give thanks to your God,children,husband,wife,mother,father,brother,sister,family,friends,job,home,pets and just for living.  It will make a difference!  Mean what you say.  Say what you mean.

#Love is a very strong word.  It can be used in many ways and have very different meanings.  Love is something that we all have in common.  We all love something or someone in life.  It can make us feel sad or good knowing that someone loves us.  Do we love ourselves?  Do we live everyday to please people? Do we live out other peoples dreams and not our own?  Do we take time to live for ourselve?  Do we make sure other people are happy and not us?  Do we stop to smell the roses in our lives?

We as beautiful people have to know that we are important too.  We have a life outside of our jobs, friends and family.  We have hopes and dreams.  We have to shoot for those things that make us happy too.  Don't forget about you!  Life is too short to just give up on yourself.  Let those close to you know that you love them but, you love yourself first.  Take care of you and live to enjoy life.  Make everyday count doing something to make you #happy.  Inhale and exhale!  What ever that means to you personally.  Everyone is different so what makes me happy may not interest you and vice versa.  It's ok to be you.  Live for today!  Live and let live!  We have to love each other and not abuse or hurt others feelings.  My mother taught me that, "It's not what you say but how you say it."  Live Love & Pray. It's ok to be different.

1John 2:10 Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble.

Joy-great happiness: #feelings of great happiness or pleasure, especially of an elevated or #spiritual kind, something that brings #happiness: a pleasurable aspect of something or source of happiness, enjoy something: to delight in something.

Joy is something we all have down deep inside.  Sometimes the Joy in our lives seems to be forever gone.  Some things may happen that cause us to forget how nice we can feel or how nice things can be in our lives.  We take the little things for granted like seeing,hearing,smelling,tasting or feeling.  Just think if we couldn't smell the food we ate everyday.  Would we enjoy it the same?  Give thanks for the little things in life that you have. 

Love who you are always!  No matter what changes drastically happen in your life know that you are here for a purpose.  You are here to make a difference in someones life.  Remember there are always issues worse than yours daily.  We have to help each other cope with life.  We have to encourage each other to make or reach the goals you have set before you in life. 

You have to have a Joy down deep inside of you that noone can touch.  A peace that has your mind calm.  A #Love that can be seen without words.  There is a song that I love.  When I am down and need a push I sing.  Just the say a little bit of the song it goes, "This Joy That I Have The World Did't Give It To Me And The World Can't Take It Away." Think about the good things in your life and bring back the Joy that you once had.  Stir up the gift in yourself.

Psalm 126:5,6 Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.  He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.
