Prayer Wall
O Lord, God of my salvation,
I have cried out day and night before You.
Let my prayer come before You;
Incline your ear to my cry.
In Psalm 88: 1-2 above the psalmist continued his prayer and went on to tell of his soul being full of troubles as his life draws near to the grave. He felt like a man with no strength, adrift among the dead whom God remembers no more, and are cut off from His hand.
I think most of us have had feelings like that at one time or another in our life, one need not be close to death to feel like giving up. Yet the Psalmist knows, even in his greatest despair that the saving grace of God is his only help thus his appeal to God to listen.
Maybe you feel like the Psalmist here, that you have hit rock bottom in your life and have no where to turn but to God. Maybe you are just worried about something in your personal life or another member of your family. Lift up your prayers to heaven and ask for God’s help.
Today I pray that God will hear your cries for help and intervene in your life and send his healing grace to wash away your tears.
If you need prayer you are truly not alone. Please feel free to post your prayer requests here (or pray for someone who does) NOTHING IS STRONGER then the prayers of believers.

From personal experience I can guarantee you that if you put your trust in God and begin a relationship with Christ Jesus, you will find the strength that you need not only to get through your present trial but to live your life with an assurance that nothing is to hard or overwhelming for you to handle. Stay in prayer and keep your eyes on the prize.
James 5:16 “Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

Who do we speak to in that moment of anguish, that quiet time of reflection, or that exploding moment of joy? Our Father in Heaven. He is always with us and prayer is like a shared secret code. He always gets it. He never tires of it. He always understands it. Speak openly and unabashedly to your Father in Heaven and watch the power of prayer work in your life. Prayer really does “change things.”
