Day 4: Let us be a Fragrance of Prayer

Friend, did you know that bees make "bee bread" from pollen and use it to feed themselves and acquire proteins, vitamins, minerals, and natural fats? Pollen is essential to the life of the hive and each member. When bees carry pollen, they fertilize other flowers and create a healthy reproductive effect in nature. Bees also store pollen for the winter season or an emergency. Pollen is very beneficial for humans as well. This product can have both positive effects on planet Earth and disastrous effects if these tiny beings don't do their part in pollination. Prayer is similar, my friend; it is vital for Christian survival. It nourishes us, brings us closer to God, and gives us peace and hope. It helps us receive direction, protection, and the intervention of the Creator of the universe himself in our lives!

Prayer is very important and essential. It is not a passive, religious act, nor is it a myth or a ritual. Prayer is not a requirement, nor is it an obligation. Prayer is not just talking to God; it is more than that; it is establishing a path of communication and communion with our Heavenly Father. Through a life of prayer, our spirit is strengthened and nourished. It is a place close to the Lord's heart; it is a secret place where we can be totally honest and open our hearts! In prayer, we communicate our feelings, fears, and desires to the Father, guided by the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus. We have total communion with the Trinity of God!

Beloved, it is urgent that a culture of prayer be raised in our homes so that our families may release the aroma of the Lord in their lives. God wants to use your influence as a mother to pollinate the hearts of your children.

Let's pray. Dear Lord, thank you because we have a secret place where we can be totally honest and open to you, where we can bring our feelings, our fears, and our desires. After patience, knowing that your beautiful Holy Spirit will guide us and communicate with us how to become victorious in the battlefield of our minds, and over our desires. Thank you, because we can come in prayer and be closer to your heart. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
