Many times people will say "I am praying for you" But do they really pray? Because if we were really praying we would see major changes. Look at James 5:16-18 to the secret of prayer."Confess your trespasses to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on on the land for 3 years and 6 months. Notice the words Effective, Fervent, Righteous.. We are a microwave society we want everything quick, hurry and fast. But real prayer takes real work. It is not throwing a few words up at God, Heal her, save her ect. It is coming to worship a King, coming with praises and thanks giving and then supplication, (to ask humbly of) . I pray that God would give His people a heart to pray.

Lovely card Rebekka - the lily looks so pretty in those warm yellows.
What a beautiful card!
Your comments about the casual "I'll pray for you" are so true. I wonder about others who say that to me, and when I say it, because my memory isn't what it used to be, I quickly do pray at least that once via an "arrow prayer" (quick, direct and runs like an arrow to the throne of God). There was a time when my prayers were "Effective, Fervent, Righteous". Thank you for your convicting words...
Another gorgeous card Rebekka!
Thank you for the beautiful, beautiful card! I am terrible at checking my mail box lately and just checked the mail this morning! 3 days worth of bills and junk mail and a beautiful card and note from you! The other mail got tossed on the table and yours got opened immediately! Thank you so much!
I hope everything is going better for you. Know that you are on my mind and in thoughts often!
