I started today praying for the group coming to Glacier and for the group coming to Photoshop World. I enjoy these gatherings of photographers and I know that there are alway opportunities to witness in such gatherings. \u00a0My prayer is always the same, place those needing your love in front of me, and then, through the Holy Spirit, guide me to know how to love them for you! Simple formula, that always works! \u00a0It always works because it is God centered, not me centered. I don’t know how to help others, but God does, and if we follow His leadings, His will is always done.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I may know what “I” want to do for others, but my wisdom falls way short of what God knows they really need! Why guess when you can get direction from the One who made us. \u00a0Prayer is where you meet with God and allow Him to show you His will. \u00a0It’s where you lay your will down and admit that you can’t do what needs to be done, apart from Him. \u00a0Surrendering to Him is admitting you don’t have all the answers, and in truth hardly any answers at all! \u00a0Once that obstacle is removed, it’s utterly amazing what He can do!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

God wants to talk with us, to fellowship. \u00a0It’s amazing to me, but I’,m so thankful that He does…..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
