Just a thought by coppi

“Prayer makes the darken’d cloud withdraw;

Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw;

Gives exercise to faith & love;

Brings every blessing from above”……

If you are around me any length of time, you will hear me say..”prayer is laying hold of God’s willingness not his reluctance.  I have embedded those ten words in my mind because they were very meaningful to me when I went through a very difficult time in my life.  In 1997, I can remember being in Corpus Christi, TX feeling like chicken little, the world falling down on my head.  It was during that period I came upon God’s willingness not His reluctance.  I prayed diligently for Jesus to guide & direct my steps, & gradually He pulled me out from under the rubble.  In didn’t happen overnight but His peace covered me until I could stand strong in Him.
