Hello, Melissa here,
All through January we have talked about Faith and Prayer and the experiences that Lawrence and I have had with both of them. I believe everyone struggles with faith and prayer sometime in their lives. I can’t see how a person wouldn’t.
For me personally, the journey I have had with faith was hard. It took me a lot of time and digging into the Word to find the kind of faith I always wanted. Prayer on the other hand, was something that felt natural. I just believed that prayers for myself were not answered, only those for others. I had to see God really show up for me for those thoughts to change. God knew that though. There had to be a change in me mentally when it came to all the grief, sadness and anger I carried and there has been. As of today, I can proudly say that the mental change is still happening. I am still growing and healing. Growing my faith has changed my life. It has brought a peace and hope that I have never experienced before and because of that, my prayer life is better too.
Lawrence had a different walk than I did. He had faith until he felt like he had no way out with his PTSD. It was hard for him to see any kind of light at the end of the tunnel he was in. That caused him to lose faith. He also told you that his prayer life is not where he wants it to be. It is something he is working on. The more he grows his prayer life, the stronger his faith is becoming again.
One of the best quotes I have seen about faith and prayer is this, “Faith and Prayer are both invisible but they make impossible things possible.” That is the truth. Both of these are the things that will change your life if you let it. Another great quote is “Prayer is the key to Heaven but Faith unlocks the Door”. These two things can carry you though any situation. They bring hope even in the darkest places.
What do you have to lose?? If you are at rock bottom, try praying and having a little bit of faith to get you through!
