The grand color of a week or so ago is long gone but I always ask God to wow me when I walk and so of course he love showing me his wonder.

 You know the statement of you can't see the trees for the forest, well in this case it is true. Now I can really spend time looking at all the trees and how many fallen ones there are. I was a great day to walk and since it is Nov.

Oh my goodness, it is not often one is allow to enter into a wonderland of color. It was almost overpowering. You could not even keep walking because you just had to stop and drink it all in. I just feel so greatful to be allowed to be apart of such beauty. Actually anyone is allowed but most are to busy or just don't open their eyes to the wonder all around them.

Today’s walk was usual but the thought process was not. Last week in Bible Study it was stated that those of us who stand against the health and wealth preaching may want to look closer at ourselves.   Aren’t most of our prays and prayer request really health and wealth request.   This bothered me because as I thought about it as I walked I began to believe they were right. But is that wrong, you know praying for someone to be healed or someone receive the job promotion or just to get the job? Or Better yet what do I really want out of this life, just good health and being comfortable. What did Jesus pray for when it came to him and his friends? What was in the Lord’s Prayer he taught us? If God grants my prayer what will I do with it. If God answered all our request to heal someone, how would they ever get to heaven.

Soldiers getting baptized in the sea. What do you think they pray for.

Then I began thinking about the fact I, and I believe all of us should consider ourselves soldier in Gods army. If so, what should soldier pray for, good health and more money? Maybe not, as a soldier it may be more likely they might ask for strength and bravery to complete the task assigned to them. What does the Lord want us to pray for? What does God want us to want? What does a person in prison for their faith pray for? So can we find and use the disciple’s prayers as an example? Did God provide great health and wealth to his chosen disciples? What do you think Abraham, Joseph, David, Daniel, Ruth, Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Zachariah and other prophets pray for?

At the end of the walk I’ve decided to spend time praying and wanting what it is I will need to complete the plans God has for me today. Also as I pray for others, to pray that whatever the difficulty they are going through that they will feel Gods loving hand of molding that will bring them prepared and ready to be used for Gods great plan he has for the ages. Often when we put our full effort into letting God have his way with us, health and some form of financial gifts may come our way, but as a byproduct and gift of love for having a willing heart.  Lastly does God even care if we are wealthy and healthy, is his main concern that I am usable for his will.

We pray as if everything is about us. Why God didn’t answers my prayers as I ask. What if you really believed God was writing a much bigger picture than you and I. What if we are pawns in this story of the ages to give God Glory? To make ourselves the focus of this story of the ages is to be self-centered.

So, this was where my mind was as I walked. Many of the above questions I think I know the answer and just must rethink what my prayer life will be.  After all this heavy thinking almost    3 ½ miles past
