Mark11: 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them . 25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
The word "praying" here is the Greek word, proschuchomai. This word means to supplicate (fancy word for ask), pray and worship. It's awesome to me to think that asking God for a thing is considered worship!
If we consider the fact that acknowledging God as our provider is worship, this word not only makes sense, but it a huge boost to our faith.
Letting God be God is a challenge. We are constantly tempted to take the reigns of our lives and compromise.
As a widow called to be a teacher and a prophet I face many challenges. I press through opinions, religious barriers as well as gender prejudices. It matters little as I do what I must do. I can remark however that I love what I do and God sees me through the hardest barriers.
You can do it too!!!

God is My Husband
I've been a widow now for six months and two days. I'm not bawling continually these days, and fear has less and less hold on my throat. I must be getting better!
I kept waking this evening or should I say all through the night. I finally gave up and got in my bible. A familiar passage was like a breath of fresh air! I share it here because God is no respecter of persons. If He said something to one anyone who trusts Him can claim it for himself/herself!
I trust it will be as encouraging for you as it was for me!
Isaiah 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
God is ever ready to direct our steps! All we need to do is ask Him and then get quiet and listen for His response. I'm learning to get quiet for my eternal husband to direct my steps!
I'm listening even now.
