   Thanks admits it works.
   Doing it increases the number of things to say thanks for.
   Not doing it may reduce life’s abundances.
   Life can have cold situations. There for why not bundle up (warm up) with God by prayer?

   And thanks Martha for another thought provoking video.

   Dear Martha…I recently bought all the Inspiration Collection Dvd’s and thoroughly enjoyed it with your personal introductions which truly complemented all the episodes. It was a prayer come true for me and my family. My next prayer to God and request to you is, that more Inspiration Collection Dvd’s with Season 3 episodes of Touched By An Angel will be available, because currently all the Inspiration Collection do not have any episodes from Season 3. May God continue to draw more people into being part of A Touch of Encouragement as we together impact the world with God’s love.

   I enjoyed how you described what prayer is and is not. Our adult class at church has made a study out of it. I feel better knowing I can make that special connection at anytime no matter where or what I am doing. Isn’t just reconnecting like you said to the One who knows me best? Thanks for your special emails.

   I tend to really study things have have grabbed my interest – study them – and move on.

   Since I have become reacquainted with TBAA – remembering some of the 1st episodes on TV (so I guess I did start watching with Season 1 – I do remember the episode where the couple is brought to the mansion for Thanksgiving. But it has been almost 20 years – has it really been that long?

   Somewhere along the line (I think it was the book they wrote early in the series to drum up interest) – but I read that Martha read Billy Graham’s book on Angels to get some “Angel Ground Rules” in the screenwriting.

   And as I mentioned before I think they did a great job – keeping the series in a Godly perspective despite all the pressures of deadlines and budgets.

   While getting my dog groomed yesterday I am finishing the book and one passage jumped out and grabbed me. Perhaps it explains the sometimes inexplicable Gulf Man feels with God and the Heavenly Realm.

   When the Battle of Armageddon is done, and Satan and the fallen angels are banished to the Lake of Fire, God’s Angels will being the transformation of Earth from Time to Eternity.

   So to Martha’s thought for the day and Prayer: We are thinking in the only realm that we know of – our existence as time changes it – and God is in the Eternal Realm.

   Our prayers – desires – and thoughts – are reaching eternity. I suspect if we would be able to see “both ends of the prayer” that we would be surprised to see what happens.

   And, I suspect, all are answered….in His Time…not ours.

   Martha,
   Thank you so much for calling and checking on my aunt and uncle today.
   You have been, and are a true inspiration to me.
   Prayer and faith has always been such a part of my life and business but for the past few months I have lost sight of my focus.
   Thank you for sharing
   Dianne

   Thankyou Martha, Praise & Worship to our Living, Loving Father in Heaven.
   He who rescued me & helped claw my way out of the deepest, darkest hole I have ever been in – after the death of my darling parents.

   Satan had me in his vicious talons & he & his band of despicable co-horts could taste & smell victory.

   But, Praise God, I turned the Worship Music on full throttle during the day, clutched my Crucifx & wrapped my Rosary Beads around my neck in the darkest hours of night & Jesus Christ, the Greatest Healer of All in His Great Compassion enabled me to fight these demons of despair & grief.
   The Mighty Power of the Holy Spirit and the Tenacity of our Loving Warrior Angels is ASTOUNDING!

   Thankyou Father God, for Christians everywhere and the Gift of Faith you have so generously bestowed upon us!

    Martha – I just rediscovered your website. God led me back to it because He knew I needed a lift. My mom passed away April 1 after 11 years with alzheimers. God has opened many doors for my writing and for that I give Him all the glory and honor. Lately I’ve been ministering to so many people and praying for so many I’m prayed and ministered out. If you would please pray for God to break these chains of bondage from the past. I’m striving so hard to move forward but it’s hard when your own family is keeping you locked up over things in the past I had no control over. Thank you for your ministry and I would appreciate your prayers.

    Here is my tribute to John Dye. I pray it will comfort many.
    MESSAGE FROM JOHN
    I know your hearts are heavy and you miss having me there
    But I’m with God in heaven where no one has a care
    I just shook hands with Moses I met Job and Daniel too
    Now I am enjoying a body that’s brand new
    It really was amazing when I walked through the gate
    I saw the beauty of this place and I could hardly wait
    To come into the presence of the Father and the Son
    Hearing him say to me the priceless words WELL DONE
    Jesus took me by the hand and said I’m so glad you’re here
    Come sit beside me for a while & let me hold you near
    Then he took me down the street and coming to meet me
    Were Charles and many others I couldn’t wait to see
    I’m having a great time up here no one is sad and blue
    My dear precious family I’m watching over you
    Soon we will be together never more to part
    Until then just remember I’m as close as your heart

    Thank you for this video and this website. I sometimes doubt myself in my prayer life becaue I feel that I’m too distracted or I’m not doing right. Prayer can actually become frustrating and disheartening for me. Thank you for helping me get back on track in my thoughts towards prayer, at least for tonight.
