And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Matthew 6:5-6
Revised Standard Version of The Bible
Prayer is so important in so many ways. It can bring you peace of mind. It can strengthen you, make you well, help others, and I could go on and on.
I know that, sometimes, we might feel humbled to ask for financial help from the Lord. This week I was at a bottom level financially and I was wondering where the money would come from for the rest of the month. We have pets to feed and we need litter for the kitties and oh that all important toilet paper.
I prayed for help. The very next day, we received a large check from the previous owner of my sick cat Sweetie, to help with her Vet expenses. Praise the Lord. I know He spoke to this man and asked him to do this. How else would he have known?
Prayer is a fundamental need in our lives, to also be closer to the Lord.
Do you pray everyday?

What a wonderful theme on the importance of prayer. We have been going through extreme challenges ourselves, and the Lord prompted someone (anonymous) to send us a card with $50 inside -- and it simply said, "Thank you for giving to the Lord, I am a life that was saved."
Thanks for including my silver flower earrings!
I'm so glad about the check. Praise God!
Beautiful items. What a talented team!
I think folks pray in all kinds of different ways, and I know that some would say that there is one "right" way to pray. But, I think God just wants to hear from us, and to know we're listening for Him.
St. Theresa's prayer is one of my favorites; just the first few lines give me pause to relax. Thank you so much for including my card with St. Theresa's prayer; it's one of my favorite things to paint!
@Imaginuity - (cute name!) I'm glad you received the help. It's a good reminder for me to actively look for ways to help, even in my small ways. Thank you for sharing this.
Providences have been tough for us lately too, but God has truly been faithful and He has shown me he is not glorified when I WORRY!!! (Now why would He have to mention that to me?) Glad your kitties are fed and litter boxed. :)
Very glad to hear you received a check and your kitty is doing better. As always - lovely items from very talented team members. Thank you for including my angel pillow.
I pray everyday.
God is my constant companion. I talk with Him all day.
Wishing you and all of us financial blessings. God knows our needs.
Have a wonderful weekend!
<><
I love to talk to the Lord all day too. He is always there for us! Thank you for the lovely reminder.
I talk everywhere with our Lord, ya think he gets tired of hearing from me...(smile)
It is fab to hear that prayers ARE answered.
Blessing to all of you and thank you so much for including my Ice Cicle Ornament
(I think I need to shoot a new pic)

Beautiful items, talented artists! Wonderful blog! Prayer is powerful for sure!
Sue A, who wrote this post, compiles a prayer list and posts it on our forum thread. Many urgent needs there if you have time to check and pray it would be greatly appreciated!
I have felt embarrassed about praying for my animals at times but God seems to not mind and has answered the prayers. He tells us to pray at all times. I praise Him for answering and meeting your needs.
