Advent Series ~ Day 7 ~ PRAYER

Be anxious for nothing,
but in everything by prayer
and supplication,
with thanksgiving,
let your requests
be made known to God;

Philippians 4:6

George Muller: (1805 – 1898), a Christian evangelist and Director of the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol, England, cared for over 10,000 orphans in his life. He was well known for providing an education to the children under his care.   He also established 117 schools which offered Christian education to over 120,000 children, many of them being orphans. He did this without asking for any money. God provided the needs. 

George was one of the greatest prayer warriors, history has known. His complete and total dependence on God was not for just for his own personal provisions, but for thousands of children he housed and educated over the years. 

God ALWAYS answers our prayers, it may not be as we want Him to, but remember he is ALL knowing, He knows what is best for us.

If God answers your prayer right away, be thankful; if it’s denied, be patient; if we are to wait, then wait with expectation as the scripture says. (Psalm 5:3)

Be assured, if you walk with Him 

and look to Him, 

and expect help from Him, 

He will never fail you.

~George Muller~

I found this prayer acronym among the notes of my husband’s dear grandmother:

R – Remembering

A – Asking

Y – Yielding

If you notice inconsistency with the boldness/colors, etc. in these posts, it's out of my hands and it's driving me bonkers. I have in my mind how I want it to look, I'm doing my best to make that happen but it's as cooperative as a bad hair day.
