prayer

Prayer is a conversation with God. It is not because he feels sorry for us, I don’t think so, but because of salvation. It is not because we deserve it. He doesn’t owe a thing. This morning devotion says “Prayer is not simply getting things from God— that is only the most elementary kind of prayer. Prayer is coming into perfect fellowship and oneness with God. If the Son of God has been formed in us through regeneration (see Galatians 4:19), then He will continue to press on beyond our common sense and will change our attitude about the things for which we pray.”

I want to know more about prayer. There are moments when I have no clue where to begin. I find myself reading a book of prayer, or reading the devotional “My Utmost for His Highest” which has been an inspiration to me for many years or even “Prayers That Avail Much” by Germaine Copeland. Some people say that they have to have me pray so that God will hear their prayers. That scares me! I am simply Doris and I have no direct line to God. I believe we have to ask in prayer but I also remember reading that Holy Spirit who dwells in us prays for us when we can’t utter a word. So pray. My Utmost for His Highest says “Asking means that our will must be involved. Whenever Jesus talked about prayer, He spoke with wonderful childlike simplicity.”

I finished my radiation therapy.I won’t see them again unless the oncologist says otherwise.

The oncologist will do another brain fluid sample next week and will decided if I shall continue once a week chemo or go to once a month (Of course I pray neither, but will settle for once a month) . The doctors were concern about my weight but I’ve gained two pounds (thanks to milkshakes) so that is very good. We loved happy hour at Steak and Shake.
Yay!!!

Blessings,
