Praying People are Happier~

Greetings,

Praying has so many benefits, like forgiveness of our sins, removing anxiety, bringing peace, protecting us from danger, guiding us in our decisions, healing our bodies, and opening doors of opportunity...

And now there's another one: Praying people are happier people!

I heard a commentator on the radio earlier this week citing a study that says people who regularly pray are just generally in a better mood and in good spirits; they are happier.

That makes perfect sense to me.  How could I not be happy when the One Who "made all the stars by the breath of His mouth (Psalm 33:6)" is the same One Who "bends down to listen to me (Psalm 116:2)?"

I'm nothing but a speck of dust, and yet God, the One Who told the oceans, "This far and no farther will you come.  Here your proud waves must stop (Job 38:11)" looks forward to spending time with me when I pray and is willing to use His incomparable power to help me.

What are we waiting for? Let's pray!

PRAYER: Dear Lord,  You are our Lord, and You love us. When we stop and think of all You have, the abilities that You and only You possess, it boggles our minds.  Even more mind boggling is that You willingly share with us when we pray.  Yes, we are happy! In Jesus' name, AMEN~
