When Prayer isn't Enough...


Have you ever heard someone make the comment "My prayer didn't get out of the roof" or something like that? What they're trying to say is their prayer was just words, it didn't move God's heart. Why do our prayers fall short?
Why are our prayers not answered?

Prayer is powerful. Prayer changes things. Did you know there are two steps to a prayer:
  1. speak the prayer aloud or silent
  2. believe God for the answer
Is step #1 enough? Does saying a prayer = an answer? The Bible says in Matthew 21:22 "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." It takes more than murmuring a prayer to touch God. We see this clearly when asking for salvation. Do you receive salvation simply because you ask or must you believe?

John 3:16 says eternal life comes to those who what? Believe! I'm guilty of the "Agrippa-tude" (Acts 26:28) in my prayers, are you? I pray the words and like a telegraph insert the word "stop" when I'm finished. I don't believe God to come thru with the answer. I imagine God shaking his head in disbelief saying "Tammy, almost thou persuadeth me to answer your prayer if you believed."

Christianity isn't a fairy tale or make-believe, it's MUST-BELIEVE.

Leave me a comment with your thoughts on prayer and belief.

Believing God,

How to make Leftover Chuck Roast a Flavorful Chinese Stirfry

chinese stirfry

I had leftover chuck roast today. After making roast beef sandwiches twice, I wondered what I could do kinda creative with the leftover beef. I had asparagus I needed to use too!

I feel like a Master Chef after finding this recipe for Beef and Asparagus Stirfry! I modified it a bit and voila (or some chinese word I don't know). The result was this wonderful dish.

My modifications to Isabelle Boucher (Crumb's) recipe:

1. Use leftover chuck roast for the striploin steak
2. Add onions, chives and water chestnuts (my husband loves water chestnuts)
3. Omit the cornstarch and black bean stir fry
4. Sub the dry sherry for cooking wine on-hand
5. Shorten the cooking time because my beef was already cooked

Yummy! I prefer chicken over beef any day but I REALLY enjoyed this dish! Give it a try and let me know what ya think.

Pleasantly surprised,
Tammy
