hello...
I've just chanced upon an ancient, yellowish book in one of my hse's cabinet.
Although it's only worth a mere $2.50, i think it's a really rich book...lol. So i'm going to share some of the things i've read in it.

The title is 'I AM A WOMAN', but i'll pick out stuff that all of us can learn..
So I'll be touching on prayer.


"Prayer simply acknowledges that we do depend on God...that there are some needs that we cannot meet alone, some demands we are unable to fulfill with our own wisdom or resources. That's what prayer says--we need God."

"Take time out to meditate on who God is. Pull out at least one thing you can thank Him for. (so everyone must give at least one testimony in cell the next time..lol)
Even if you think there's absolutely nothing good in your life or circumstances, praise Him for salvation, for sins forgiven, for peace of mind, for the hope of heaven where there's no more pain, sorrow or death."

Some points that I've took down:
- We will receive when we ask according to God's will.
- We ask and probably have not received because we ask selfishly and to gratify our wants
- Pray in the attitude of 'Your will be done'
- Prayer is also listening to God who reveals His will.
- Ask specifically
- Pray and look to God in times of temptation and victory
- Speak frequently to God in our own ways about our joy and sorrow, success and failure, and we'll develop great wisdom and understanding
- Prayer changes things
- By prayer we can reach the heart of God
- Finally, give thanks to God for every answered prayer.
