The most powerful tool that we have is prayer. This incredible gift from God given to us to have access to Him at any time or wherever we may be.Through prayer we can communicate with our Heavenly Father directly. He wants us to bring our problems to him, to share our joys, our triumphs and he desires to comfort us when we suffer.
Many around us don’t believe in prayer or in the power that comes from a true heartfelt prayer. Others are too distracted to even think about praying or to try to access that channel of communication with God! 🙁 The important thing to remember is that ultimately, WE ARE THE ONES WHO DETERMINE HOW CLOSE WE WANT TO BE TO GOD!!!
God is ever present, He is invariable, He’s always there for us, His words are words of truth, and if there’s anyone in this world in whom we should believe it should be Him. So, if He has said that He will answer our heartfelt prayers then we must TRUST HIM THAT HE WILL!!!! And that after we pray He will answer according to His will and purpose which is much higher than ours. 
At some point or another in our lives the times come in which reach a point where we have no where else to go but to God. We realize that the only thing that we can do during those difficult times is to pray. This may come because of something difficult that we may be experiencing, or from physical pain, illness, sorrow or losing a loved one. 🙁 From what I have experienced so far in my life, those difficult moments have lead to some of my most beautiful experiences that i’ve had with prayer. It’s hard to believe that I could be thankful for my difficulties :/ but I know, as I know many of you already know that some of our hardest experiences can help us to feel closer to God more than we ever have before. These are the moments that become treasures in our lives. 
Moments that teach us that God really is there!!! That He does hear the prayers of our hearts, that He is full of love for us, and that He is the provider of peace and the the giver of all good gifts for us His children. (specially when we trust Him! can you imagine how He must feel when we show Him that? 🙂 I’m so thankful to him for giving the peace and comfort that i’ve needed during the most difficult moments of my life and i’m thankful for the gift that I have of knowing that I can speak to Him and tell him exactly how I feel. He has become my Best Friend and the one that I look forward to speaking to daily now! <3 Those experiences have only happened because I CHOSE TO ACCESS His divine gift of communication that He so lovingly has available to ALL of us!!! 🙂
Lately, I’ve been able to witness the amazing power of prayer. My heart has been so full from seeing the way in which prayers can be answered and the miracles that can come from just a plead. 
I’m so thankful for having the gift of prayer and for what it can do for each one of us individually. I know that we will receive answers to our prayers according to our faith and the will of God. Even if our faith is small, it’s that desire to believe that changes everything and that’s when we begin to knock down those walls of unbelief and finally begin to rely more and more fully in our TRUST of God.
Mathew 17:20 says;
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
James 1:5-6
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
So, we must believe to see results!!! 🙂 But why do we let our doubts stop us from fully believing? Do we not trust In Gods word enough? If we’re even kneeling down to pray in the first place it’s because we believe that He can help right? So why not fully TRUST IN HIS POWER to strengthen us in our difficulties to give us hope during the hard times and to provide the comfort that we need in our daily life?…letting go of the doubts and showing Him our trust in our prayers will change everything!!
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him
I love this scripture so much! God is a rewarder! The giver of all good gifts!!! Our father who loves us, who cares so much about us. He desires to hear from us. The choice is ours and our journey is very personal in how much we desire to come closer to Him. He knows what is in our hearts and His promises are real. When He says ask, and ye shall receive. Then we must believe that if we ask with pure intent, believing fully in Him, then we will receive.
I want to leave this message with you, for whoever is meant to read it. To let you know that God loves YOU!!! You can feel it in your heart if you stop and think about it. He will testify to your heart and soul that he loves YOU!!! He knows you by name and knows what you need even before you ask. He is anxious to hear from you! He desires to bless you with more and more! And to show you just how much He cares for you.

Go to Him and take His hand for your life daily! 🙂 There’s nothing more beautiful than a heartfelt prayer.
But don’t forget to STOP and LISTEN TO HIM in peace and quiet after you’re done praying. He desires to counsel you and to help you and the only way to have our minds and hearts open for His communication to be in silence and to try to feel Him close to us, to listen to the feelings that come to our hearts and minds He whispers, peace and inspiration to our hearts and minds and if we’re willing to listen to Him HE WILL ANSWER.
God also communicates with us through His written words. Reading His words is an amazing way to receive answers and inspiration. He also sends us angels who may give us words of wisdom to help us and in some cases He allows us to be angels for others as well. We are all here to help each other and to glorify God in doing so. I know that the more that we come closer to God, the more we will feel his tender mercies and blessings and we will develop a stronger desire to please Him. We may even stop asking for things for ourselves and instead ASKING GOD HOW WE CAN HELP HIM? or what we could do that would make Him happy and proud of having us as His children! 🙂 how awesome is that? To turn that focus away from us and to do what would be pleasing to God instead. That way our lives won’t keep passing by with less faith but instead creating and building STRONGER FAITH. Little by little, ONE DAY AT A TIME. The power of prayer is amazing!!!
Our spiritual goal for the week is to strengthen our relationship with God through the power of prayer. And after praying to wait and be willing to listen to what he speaks to our hearts and minds.
Our physical goal for the week is to notice which foods don’t feel right with our bodies. To try to eat healthier, but to listen to our bodies and what feels good for them.
Love you all and I hope that this will be a wonderful week! keep you minds and spirits positive and moving forward. See you tonight in class for a wonderful workout, toning and meditation session that will strengthen us. Unfortunately CLASS WILL BE CANCELLED NEXT WEEK. So, if you’re planing on coming tonight is the night!!! Hope to see you tonight at 7:15 🙂 <3
