Hope you are all having a great day! Today I'd like to speak about praying and asking for prayer. I did a concert last weekend, which went great by the way, and asked for prayer for a particular audition I have coming up tomorrow, Thursday 9/30, around 4 PM. I had to stop and think about what I wanted people to pray. Do I want to have a folks pray for me to get the job? Or, that I have a great audition. Or, what?
These days and times I think that prayer is very important. Off the top of my head I can't think of when prayer wasn't important, but now, with so many illnesses, the economy in a rut, crooked politicians and radical special interest groups, "we the people", seem to be getting attacked from every angle.
I think the statement, "be careful what you pray for," is important as well! As we all know some prayers are best left unanswered. I always ask others to pray for Gods will in any given situation. And that's what I decided to ask regarding the audition. That way we can be sure that what we are praying for is in line with what God is doing in a persons life.
When I'm praying I always make sure to praise God for His love and mercy and especially His Grace. He is worthy of our praise! In fact I don't know anyone more worthy!
God Bless You!

P.S. My audition is for the Phantom Of The Opera.
