And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for safety. – 2 Corinthians 1:11(NLT)
PRAYERS ARE POWERFUL
A poem and essay by ILMA
When one asks in Jesus’ name
It won’t take long, it will be given
The prayers of a righteous person
Doesn’t go unheard, it is precious.
Prayer is a form of humbling one’s self
You praise the Lord, when you ask for help
Don’t take for granted the power of prayer
It can save someone and bring about miracles.

There are some people who don’t realize the power of prayers. Have you ever heard the phrase, “I can’t do anything more but just pray”? We should actually be praying first before we do anything. By doing so, we are acknowledging our weaknesses and relying on God’s guidance and provision. Jeremiah 29:12 says that when you will call on the Lord and pray to Him, He will listen to you. James 5:16 mentions that The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 cautions us to pray continually and Ephesians 6: 18 tells us to pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. When we pray, we are helping each other and the Lord will grant our prayers especially those that jive with his will.________________________________________

CALLED FROM THE WOMB Poem Devotional

The Lord called me before my birth; from within the womb he called me by name.
– Isaiah 49:1(NLT)
CALLED FROM THE WOMB
A poem and essay by ILMA
The Lord knows our destiny
He created us for his majesty
He called us in our mother’s womb
He wants us to follow his will soon.
God knows us and called us by name
He wants us to follow his commands
He has a big plan for our lives
He wants us to live in his light.

Does anyone know you completely? Only the Lord knows everything and sees you even while you were still in your mother’s womb. Even before technology can scan the fetus in a woman’s womb, God saw that already. What is amazing is that he also knows what our name would even be before our parents thought about what name to give us.
Before my granddaughter was born, I prayed hard to the Lord to give her the name that He planned for her. They were going to name her according to the mother’s wish. I was surprised that they gave her the name “Beatrice” which meant “bringer of joy.” That was what she is. She brings joy to all she encounters. God has a plan for her and even though it doesn’t seem so clear at the moment, that plan will be for God’s purpose. We were all called to serve a majestic God.________________________________________
PRAYER
Lord, thank you that you called me by name even from my mother’s womb.
REFLECTION
