I woke up this morning with so much stress of what the day was going to hold. I was not looking forward to a full day of work and then studying the rest of the night. Two of my friends, however, convinced me to go down and grab some Sonic and then go to one of our special spots to spend some time in prayer.

We threw on some good ole girl music as we drove down to Sonic to get our strawberry limeades and then drove to our secret pond we had stumbled upon last year. The pond has a dock that goes a bit onto the lake, so we walked out to the very edge and sat. We covered ourselves with blankets and huddled as close as we could and then we just prayed. We prayed about anything and everything. Things that we’ve been struggling with, things friends have been struggling with. And as the prayers whispered into the sky I felt a peace that was in itself an answer to prayer. I don’t know if it was the quietness of the pond, or the fact that I had actually taken a minute to stop and just listen, but whatever it was, it calmed me. 

The rest of the day was filled with answers to the prayers from the dock. Tears filled my eyes again and again as I saw God work. Wow! It’s so true guys; all God asks is that we pray and come to him. If we do this, he promises us that he WILL work. I know school can get busy guys, but I just want to encourage you to take time out of your days and just pray, especially with other people, -it’s a powerful weapon God gives us.
