God answers prayers
Prayer works!!!
I’ve always been someone who prayed all my “thanks” to God but never really prayed my “needs” to God. For the last several months, I have been compelled to pray my “needs” instead of just my “thanks” - for He knows my heart and desires, even if I don’t confess them out loud!
I am here to say that within one week of me praying my heart’s needs, and starting a “Vision Board,” I had FOUR separate doors/events open that were answers to those particular prayers!
In the midst of the whole coronavirus shutdown/ meltdown God brought new business and revenue to me in ways I couldn’t have imagined on my own. He opened new doors that I didn’t even know were there to be opened. I had long-time friends buying subscriptions to the newspapers that haven’t had subscriptions in years.
And since those initial prayers were answered, I have still felt abundantly blessed beyond measure with yet more prayers still being answered.
James 4:2
“…Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.”

Make a vision board.
I just learned about vision boards a few months ago. I thought for a long time on what I wanted on my vision board and made it. A vision board is what you use to help you see, concentrate and focus on what truly matters to you or what you want in life. It is literally any sort of board, or paper, which you display images or thoughts about what you want to be or to achieve, in your life. By looking at your vision board daily it brings it to life. It gives you something to strive for. It reminds you to pray for it.
Write it down! Put some faith in it! Never Give Up! Talk to God every day! And then go to work on it!
Habakkuk 2:2:
And the LORD answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.”
Don’t be afraid to pray. Don’t forget to pray. Don’t be ashamed to pray. Don’t be too proud to pray. God is never too busy to listen to you!
You need God! You need to tell Him you need Him!
Matthew 7:7:
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
Matthew 21:22:
“And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
Even last week, two people called and canceled their newspaper subscriptions because they don’t agree with my political stance and my political columns. I posted my column on Facebook with the side-note saying two people had canceled subscriptions because of my column.
By the end of the day, ten people had bought a new subscriptions to my newspapers, both Madison and Monticello.
Faith, ya’ll. Faith, love and prayer! The devil tried to take two but God sent me 10 in return.
1 John 3:22:
“And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do what pleases Him.”

God really does want to use you as an example of what He can do. You just have to volunteer yourself and be willing to go through something to get to it! If you’re praying for success, then after you pray for it, you have to work towards it! Always remember … Faith without work is dead!
Proverbs 16:3:
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.”
Pray every day!
Thank God every day!
Ask God to bless you every day!
He really does want to bless you!
Psalm 37:4:
“Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
Be vigilant, my friends! “You have not because you ask not!”
God Is Real!
Prayer changes things!
