Thank you altya!

Truthfully, we are all in need of prayer every day of our lives.&nbsp; And isn't prayer wonderful?&nbsp; To think, we, as lowly sinners, can approach the Throne of God, the Creator of the Universe!And even more amazing is that He wants our prayers and loves our prayers!&nbsp; Prayer is an amazing and awe inspiring mystery to me.

I am very thankful for this&nbsp;prayer forum, and the intercessory prayers are a blessing from God.

Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.
