You know how you can always tell when you're overhearing someone leaving a message on a answering machine? We just speak differently when we're recording a message than when we're interacting with another person. I've heard (from myself and others) many prayers that sounded like someone leaving a message on a machine. We aren't actually interacting with God. Instead we have this attitude that we'll just leave our prayer here and when God has time I know he'll get back to me. Perhaps it comes from the feeling that God is somehow far away from us, or too busy to meet with us.
Incredible prayer times happen when we begin to grasp the truth, that God is near and he is listening.

- As a wife, mother of three and a full-time employee Kathy is well acquainted with the struggles to maintain balance, a right attitude, contentment and health in the midst of chaos. All the hectic times in her life, including seven major moves and five minor ones have served to reinforce her dependence on the only anchor she has found to hold her steady through the years; Jesus. Kathy writes of her personal journeys through the pages of scriptures, deserts of dryness, showers of blessings, the darkness of depression and the bright days of joy. She speaks of all she has learned about herself and her God in these journeys with the hope that her experiences will serve to encourage other women, who are fighting these same battles to stand strong.
