In my life, prayer has been something I have usually preserved between God and me. Like many who believe in prayer, I’ve asked for help in my weakest or most fearful moments and in handling personal issues and the health of loved ones, friends and myself. I request assistance on matters that I feel I can’t handle alone, things I haven’t said to anyone, but in my prayers. I’ve certainly asked for forgiveness for any wrongdoings I may have committed. I talk to Him about world events that trouble me as I’m sure many others do as well. A relationship with the Lord is very personal. One thing I’ve tried to remain mindful of when talking with Him is to say “thank you” for my many blessings. Prayer shouldn’t be one-sided and a “what can you do for me?” request all the time. And I try to remember that a prayer left unanswered is an answer and is a part of His plan for me.
