One Pebble at a Time

















"Never stop praying." 
1 Thessalonians 5:17 NLT


Over the years, many people have called me a prayer warrior. The name seems overwhelming and unattainable. Yet, as I began tossing each pebble size prayer at God I suppose I was building prayer warrior skills. They were not pretty prayers and many times they were more like inaudible groans from a dying animal or a flood of tears from a broken damn. They were my prayers to a loving, gracious, and merciful God; a God who sent His son to save and restore me to the person He created me to be.

Each person who prayers and seeks God is a prayer warrior. Our prayers range from fragmented pebbles to giant boulders as we continue on our journey through this life. We must warrior on, one pebble at a time.

One pebble at a time
We build
We grow

One pebble at a time
We live
We know

One pebble at a time
His love
We show

One pebble at a time
With grace and mercy
Our prayers go

One pebble at a time

By His mercy and in the grip of His grace,

Andrea Bowling Perdue

Good thoughts Andrea! Even our ''pebble'' sized prayers are precious to God. Or even our ''grain-of-sand" sized ones!

God bless you!

I enjoyed this, Andrea. I'm looking at some *mountains* in my life right now - and they look pretty daunting. One pebble at a time...

OK, I think I can handle that!

GOD BLESS!
