Almighty Chicks: Blog & Devotional

I feel like I say the same prayer over and over.  I’m definitely not one of those blessed people that can say these awesome prayers.  I’m a very “God is great” type of girl.  But sometimes I just go to pray and go blank. 

Romans 8:26 (New International Version)

 ²⁶In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

I’ve been studying Romans for the last week or so.  Not too long again I read Francis Chan book “Crazy Love” (you all should read it- AWESOME).  But he suggests that we should read the bible as if we are for the first time again.  So with open eyes and no predetermined ideas that is what I’m doing.  It is so amazing to see God’s Grace and Love in Romans and to see it fit my life.  I don’t feel so bad as a Christian reading Romans because GOD LOVES ME!! 

Not only has the writer’s block hit me but also the pray block.  I go to pray and my mind goes blank.  I need a notebook and write ahead of time what I should pray for.  But I forget I have a relationship with GOD.  Do I take a notebook when I’m talking to my husband?  NO, although sometimes I should.  So even though I might not be saying these powerful prayers God knows my thought and needs.  Sometimes I just sit still and in my head say “Thank you Jesus”, really what more else is there to say.  We can be selfish and pray “Oh, help me sell a house or help Matt to do well at his game” which sometimes I do pray that but he already knows that.  He knows we are weak and we need his help.  We are just kids; we rebel occasionally because our flesh is weak but HE IS STRONG.  God knows our heart and knows we aren’t perfect but it is great that our “DADDY” interceded for us.  So even if you can’t come up with the big awesome prayers, just say “THANK YOU DADDY”.  We can’t give enough thanks because no matter how bad life is we are greatly BLESSED!!

I wrote you the other day with the excitement that I thought I was going to be able to go to the Psalms 31 Women’s She Speaks seminar this year.  WELL, not going to happen.  My nephew is getting married that weekend plus I really didn’t have the $1700 to go.  It would have taken me peddling many candles to make that money.  God must have something else in store for me.  I am working on several big announcements for you Almighty Chicks.  I hope to start announcing them soon.  So until next time keep you head up, faith strong and make every minute count.  Lots of Love, Amy!
