"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!

Beautifully written, love you.
Beautiful thoughts. Thank you for sharing.
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!
