Welcome to the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast - I am your host Jackie Brindle.
I am here to encourage you on the good and not so good days --- to lift you up and onward with faith infused encouragement.
More specifically, in the receive series, I hope to encourage you to believe in who God is and who He says He is, so that you can receive all that God has in store for you: blessings, peace, courage, your identity, and today ----- to receive PRAYER!
Prayer is a gift!
I remember when my grandmother would write me letters when I was younger. I was so eager to write her back.
A few years ago, my uncle sent me a package with dozens of letters that my grandmother saved, that I sent her.
She saved every single - sketch, silly joke I wrote, and my thoughts: from losing a tooth, desires of what I wanted to be when I grew up, to how cold the weather was in PA that year. I would often tell her how much I missed her, when she went away in the winter time to Florida.
I loved that she treasured all of my messages.
In the same way, in light of knowing who God is, He saves all of our messages -- PRAYERS --- to Him.
I wonder how big my envelop would be if I were to see it. I love that God cares about us all so much that He wants to have a relationship with us. He desires us to pray in repsonse to our faith.
It is a gift that renews our minds and soul.
Prayer encourages others, and it's more powerful than we tend to think.
Keep on praying, my friend --- it might just be the gift God and you need to receive today.
Press play and BE ENCOURAGED!
