Trying to get to know other believers online.
A little bit about myself:
I have been following the Lord since I was 17, (Im 26 now). I believe I was saved while listening to a sermon by Paul Washer. The past 9 years or so have been pretty rough. With a lot of spiritual struggles. Depression, fear, anxiety. God has really helped me to overcome a lot of that though as I have been seeking Him more for His help. As I have learned to cast my cares on Him day to day He also has been keeping me in perfect peace.
I want more than anything to learn how to pray with greater power. As I have been asking the Lord to teach me how to pray He has been leading me to thankfulness and praise and focusing more in prayer and praying for longer periods of time. Personally holiness also and many other things. I feel as though I have only just begun to realize the power that is available to us in the true and living God of heaven and earth. Let alone access it. I really feel convinced that there is nothing that cannot be accomplished through seeking God. As I have been trying to find people to pray with at the church I go to and at other churches it has been discouraging to see how many people dont really believe that God even answers prayer. I am hoping that I can find people on this forum who believe the promises of God. Its kind of irritating also because I am trying to find the button to send a message to the people that are requesting prayer partners and I dont see it. Is there no way to send people private messages here?
Anyways I want to encourage anyone who reads this do not give up on anything that you are praying for. I have seen God answer my specific prayers in my life and I know that He hears and answers.
May the Lord Jesus help us to pray more and more.
Mike
