I must confess I struggle to pray sometimes. Sometimes I’d rather not pray. There are other times it is a lot easier. Either way, the writer of Romans encourages us that God knows our hearts and needs.
I have so many needs and wants and some are just humanly impossible to achieve and out of reach for me.
Many times within the bible, we are encouraged to pray. We’re encouraged to seek the Lord. We are told about the power of prayer and the effects and benefits of prayer. We are encouraged that prayer is a form of worship and that God loves worship.

I still have room for more

I am excited and thankful by the successes achieved so far yet puzzled by the many disappointments. Dare I say, the mountains that have refused to move! Continue Reading →
Little foxes
The technology age we live in although has so much improved the quality of our lives and information sharing and dissemination, it has however brought upon us a greater level of distractions that make many wander away from the important things and be carried away with frivolous and unnecessary events. With the click of a button, you are on your way to endless links, stories and pictures that can keep you occupied for a very very long time. One cannot overstate the fact that we are overloaded with information these days with the click of a button.

One is easily drawn between staying on the internet and focusing on some work that possibly put food on one’s table. Continue Reading →
