Prayer Box

So today, I decided to do something awesome with my time. That was well firstly, write a blog which I obviously havnt done in a long time. But today I decided to do something usefull with a pad of paper and a box. What could that be, a prayer box.

In this book called Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, she writes about a charecter having this prayer box where she writes a prayer on a piece of paper, and sticks it in the Box. Every few weeks she looks in the Box and pulls out a few and if God answers her prayer, she praises Him. And if He hasnt yet, she put it back in the box and continually prayed for it.

I had attempted at this after I had read it for the first time, but I didnt follow up. But on Christmas my mom gave me in my stocking a little box with all these papers in them. I had absolutly no use for it, but I knew God wanted me to use it for small little prayers to Him everyday. I immidately started filling it out and writing all these things that I wanted to praise God for, or ask Him for.

And just like my pastor said this weekend, that if I ask God for something, he will give it to me. Because He loves me, and wants me to be satisfied. This obviously doesnt mean I will get everything I ask God for, but He will listen and know whats best for me.

Since I have only made it today, I am waiting for God to answer my prayers, and I cant wait to see what God has for me for my life. I know this isnt some long blog about a verse, but its a practical way to visualize God answering prayers, or seeing God know whats best for me in not answering prayers.

I pray that all of you will be encouraged by this and make your own prayer box, it doesnt even have to be a prayer box, but just remember to go back on prayers and praise God for what He has done in your life!

Philipians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Why in the world am I blogging?

Well, Im not exactly the one to be a blogger or to blog or whatever its called. I used to think it was insanely dumb, dont get me wrong I still kinda do. I used to just think 'who would want to read someones words about dumb useless things.' Then I started reading some of my friends blogs, and my mothers blog, and I started to get interested. For about 2 months, I still thought it was dumb and still didnt want to do it. I still dont know why I made a blog, no one made me do it or talked me into it. Maybe God is trying to use me through this blog to honor Him, who knows.

So here I am, typing away at my first blog, no clue what Im doing, but I do have some things to say about my title thing or whatever its called. It took me about 45 minutes to come up with a title. After doing the most basic search anyone does on google I searched 'things to name your blog' I realized someone had probably already taken those names and I was an idiot. So I thought some more, until I came up with 'The Kingdom's Comfort.' I wanted to dig deeper into the meaning of the word comfort. Most definitions on google were about having no worries and being in a state of relaxation or physical well being. The only way to completely attain full comfort is in Heaven. That is our true one and only soul comfort. We can still abide in Gods comfort, because God is always and forever with us.

Just merely knowing with 100% assurance I am going to heaven makes me have comfort. Now I cant image the comfort I will feel in heaven, but this comfort in just merely knowing God is pretty darn good. The kingdoms comfort is something I look forward to with my whole life because my life is Christ. Just imagine the day your in heaven for the first time, and the comfort youll feel in Gods arms. That's what Im about, and why Im here.
