Here is a link to a previous post about what happened one morning in my life. Read it and see if you think my prayer made a difference.

In the Garden of Eden, we are told about the sweet communion Adam and Eve experienced with the Father. He walked with them and talked with them. He gave some specific instructions, and He gave them incredible blessing.
Unfortunately, they didn't follow His instructions, and they broke that sweet fellowship in the way they new it. They felt shame and heartache to the point of wanting to hide from Him! Everything about the world changed that day, and everything about mankind's interaction with God changed as well.
The Good News is that though our ancestors went many dry years with only touches of the Spirit of God, Jesus came to give us unending and unbroken communion with Him once and for all!
Hebrews 4:14-16 says 14 We have a great high priest who has gone
to live with God in heaven. He is Jesus the Son of God. So let us continue to
express our faith in him. 15 Jesus, our high priest, is able to understand our
weaknesses. When Jesus lived on earth, he was tempted in every way. He was
tempted in the same ways we are tempted, but he never sinned. 16 With Jesus as
our high priest, we can feel free to come before God’s throne where there is
grace. There we receive mercy and kindness to help us when we need it.
Jesus tore the veil of separation that kept us from ongoing communion, and now, we can come BOLDLY before the throne of God and receive His help!
If God went to such great lengths to send Jesus to bring us back legally by the shedding of a blood covenant...and if Jesus chose to endure all He did to fulfill God's plan...then why do we not boldly go???
Why oh why do we spend our days flopping around, taking all the enemy throws at us, as if we have little hope or as if God doesn't WANT to help us?
Let this TRUTH sink down into the deepest part of you: God didn't even withhold His very SON from you!
Romans 8:32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won't he also give us everything else?

Does God lie? No way! The Bible tells us He is not like man who lies. We can believe what we read with certainty that it has been written and preserved for us to count on!
Abba Father did not even withhold or spare His Son for our sake so why do we not believe we can go to Him for EVERYTHING else that concerns us?
Go boldly and present your requests.
