Another short thought written by Max Lucado; this one taken from his book titled "The Great House of God":
Prayers Are Precious Jewels*
"You can talk to God because God listens. Your voice matters in heaven. He takes you very seriously. When you enter his presence, the attendants turn to you to hear your voice. No need to fear that you will be ignored. Even if you stammer or stumble; even if what you have to say impresses no one. It impresses God----and he listens.
"Intently Carefully. The prayers are honored as precious jewels. Purified and empowered, the words rise in a delightful fragrance to our Lord........... Your words do not stop until they reach the very throne of God.....
"Your prayers move God to change the world. You may not understand the mystery of prayer. You don't need to. But this much is clear: Actions in heaven begin when someone prays on earth. What an amazing thought!"
* National Day of Prayer is tomorrow, Thursday, May 7. Join a prayer time; some time, some place. If that isn't possible, Google: 'national day of prayer' and see what comes up.
