Praying in Detail……

Photo by Letu00edcia Alvares on Pexels.com

I starting think about my last post ā€œA New Way to Study, https://3amthunderofwords.com/2026/05/31/a-new-way-to-study/ ā€Ā 

and thought of buying a few color ink pens and new prayer book,

because I realized I needed to be more detailed with each prayer.Ā 

It’s like if you pray for money and a miracle happens you get some and it’s gone before you realized you had it. You know how to pay bills, treat yourself to a nice meal or two, but you have no idea how to keep the money coming in.

Then you pray for good health, but having good health for how long? There are so many ways to pray. I am a visual learner and I like to write out my thoughts. I have never gone too deep with my prayers, but I am about to change that.Ā 

I got a pocket prayer book, I was writing short notes, a bible verse, and that’s good. I believe/excuse me I am going to go into as much detail and what each pray the how and why and then I am going to find a bible verse to go with that prayer.

I looked on amazon for my book and I found one actually close to it. I am also trying a new ice coffee and creamer. I am amazed it is after 1 pm and I haven’t had my coffee. I guess that is the reason why I am starting to get a headache. A little coffee goes a long way and brings a happy smile to go with it.

I believe sometimes we are so busy trying to survive and some go from paycheck to paycheck that we don’t take the time to write out our thoughts in detail.Ā

A New Way to Study

Photo by Leeloo The First on Pexels.com

I used to watch short stories on youtube and my son said I shouldn’t be watching or listening to these stories. I can actually see myself in some of them and think what would happen if I could rewrite my story and make people who think they know everything about who they believe I am.Ā 

**side note: Here are a few of what I call positive stories (not all I see myself in them, don’t think I saved those, but a few I liked) and thought I would rewatch again one day.

1. Ā  https://youtu.be/qY0CBmXD16s?si=VBSO6vBPywGwckK_

2.Ā  https://youtu.be/FxnJxDjheUU?si=RPdEjszuDwDHiQLR

Then I started rethinking about how I am praying. I have been looking at my purple and white journal, where I started taking notes as I study the bible, and realized I am not praying correctly or enough.

I was about to turn youtube off when I noticed a video that caught my attention and these are truly positive words to listen to.Ā 

  1. https://youtu.be/8hEtcvv6xP0?si=JZmcgY4jecMqplXM
  2. https://youtu.be/rxvWWbN2yGw?si=tidF7Py9Qh0uUkzp

After looking/listening to a few of these made me remember something I read and have been taught by my late pastor and know about the power of words. I wish I could remember off hand where in the bible it says this, but its not hard to look it up.

{} https://bible.com/bible/114/col.4.6.NKJV Ā Ā Colossians 4:6 NKJV

[6] Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.{}

{} https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.12.36.NKJVĀ  Ā  Matthew 12:36 NKJV

[36] But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.{}Ā 

{} https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.10.17.NKJVĀ  Romans 10:17 NKJV

[17] So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.{}Ā 

{} https://bible.com/bible/114/2co.5.7.NKJVĀ  II Corinthians 5:7 NKJV

[7] For we walk by faith, not by sight. {}Ā 

{} https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.2.17.NKJVĀ  James 2:17 NKJV

[17] Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.{}Ā 

The words you say and believe are powerful, if your faith is strong. It’s not what you say, but how you say it? I know I have prayed for good health, a clear mind, and a better job. One would think that’s enough, but it isn’t even close enough. It isn’t what you pray for, but how you are praying.Ā 

**side note : I was trying to calm my nerves as IĀ  typed and was starting to get overwhelmed. The words in my head started to blur and when I had to bite my finger, because I wanted to scream. I clicked on this video and that helped calm me down. Then I heard something within this story, I had just written, and that’s why I am adding it here: https://youtu.be/trtH-QanexA?si=UjB-yF0F-ZQ9iN1j

I was/no I am going to start a new prayer book. This book will give detailed information about what I want, how I believe I will achieve those goals, and a bible verse to go along with each goal.Ā Ā 

**side note : I haven’t decided if I will post what my new book looks like, but this time I am writing for myself and not for anyone else. I did give an idea of what it will look like and if it will help someone else take a step to move forward, I am Happy……………

My Words…

Photo by Fabian Wiktor on Pexels.com

I don’t care how I am feeling, when asked ā€œI am okay,ā€ or ā€œI am blessed.ā€ I refuse to say anything less. I will Not give satan a chance to prove my words wrong.

Yes, there may be pain in my body, but I know I am healed by His blood.

Mark 5:34 NIV [34] He said to her, ā€œDaughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.ā€  https://bible.com/bible/111/mrk.5.34.NIV

Exodus 15:26 NIV [26] He said, ā€œIf you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.ā€

https://bible.com/bible/111/exo.15.26.NIV

I am feeling sad and overwhelmed, because of an unhealthy work place. It’s okay, because this place is not my real job. It’s a job that pays a few bills, gets me out of the house, and the motivation to set my dreams free. I did say, ā€œI was okay right?ā€ Well, I am beyond that.

My Last List…

I am done going around in circles. Circles are round with no end to them. It’s like going through your day like a run on sentence. You tell yourself you want change, but you are not doing anything to make that happen. You dream of a big picture  and have an idea on how to turn that picture into reality.

It starts off being honest with yourself. You know you have no reason to be afraid.   

Psalms 23:4 NIV  [4] Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV [6] Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.ā€  https://bible.com/bible/111/deu.31.6.NIV

I am taking a closer look at who I am and who I know I can be. I am going into a new stage in my life my way. I am in charge of my tomorrow, if I have a tomorrow, because no one knows when we will take our last breath. The only thing we can do is live our life the best way we can.

I enjoy crocheting. The idea of turning a skein of yarn into  blankets, hats, scarves, and countless other objects. I want to learn to do more, because I can imagine crochet items like curtains, rugs, dresses, and the list goes on.

People are all amazed when  they see me crocheting and I just smile and say thank you when I get a compliment on whatever I am working on. There have  been a few people who asked me to teach them how to crochet. I never thought about it, but I agreed. 

Then reality hit me. Teaching and doing are two different things. I’ve watched crochet tutorials on youtube. There are a lot I can follow and a lot I cannot. There are some with words and music playing in the background. Those are okay, but sometimes the words are too small to read across the screen. There are a few that are not in English or ones with a heavy accent and I still cannot understand what is being said. 

The videos I dislike the most are the ones that don’t show what they are doing, just talking about them, and That’s not doing me any good. If I see a picture, I want to learn how to do it, and what’s the point of posting a video if you are not going to show how it’s done.

I came across this video and…..

How to Become a Certified Crochet Instructor

Elise Rose Crochet Ā Ā Sep 24, 2019 Ā #crocheting #crochet #howtocrochet Becoming a Certified Crochet Instructor takes time and effort, but it is totally worth it. In this video, I share the details of my journey, why you might want to enroll, and the costs involved. {}

I asked Google a question about getting a certificate to teach crochet and I clicked on this…..

{} https://americancrochetassociation.blog/ Crochet Certification – Everything You Need to Know to Start Teaching | Stop Scrolling, Start Learning {}

It is true you don’t need to have a certificate to teach crochet or knitting, but I would like to teach my craft with a better understanding and clear enough for others to follow along. I would like to prove one can crochet anywhere and it isn’t hard to do.

I have taken the first steps. Yes, I have started a new list and I WILL  FOLLOW THROUGH this time. THIS WILL BE MY LAST LIST. I have started with a monthly planner. Well, it’s time to crochet.
