The Power of a Praying Woman

Over the past month I have been reading this book  The Power of a Praying Woman by Stormie Omartian.  And it has been life-changing.  I never realized how important it is to pray for yourself.  And also how strong the power of prayer is! Here's one of my most favorite quotes from the book: "I have come to know that God can smooth my path, calm the storms, keep me and all I care about safe, and even make my way simple when I ask Him to carry the complexities of life for me.  But these things don't just happen, not without prayer." Isn't that an amazing truth to hear.  Anyway-I just thought I would write about that truth today and leave you with my scripture that I memorized this month.

"Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself, it must remain in the vine.  Neither can you bear fruit unless you remains in me.  I am the vine, and you are the branches.  If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit.  Apart from me you can so nothing. If you remain in me and my words in you-ask whatever you wish and it will be given to you."  John 15:4,5,7
