Yes!!! Prayer is direct communication to God, and He is listening to the prayers of his people!

I pray throughout the day for others, for my family, for *anything* that God has put upon my heart to pray for, individuals who are going through hard times, emotionally or physically.

Always, PRAISE and THANKS be to God for the glorious gift he has given me of salvation. For the many undeserved blessings he has bestowed upon me, a sinner, saved by his grace (unmerited favor), and knowing according to scripture that "God inhabits the praises of his people".

It is tremendous and thoroughly a miraculous privilege that God hears our EVERY prayer, and longs to have a relationship with those of us who are "called according to his purpose."

All power to our Lord and King, Jesus Christ - thank you, Lord!
