Reaching Up!

 It is fair to say that when a tree is strong its root system is strong. It has been said that trees are the only thing that grows in two directions at once. 

Adam had a wife named Eve. God told Noah to build an ark because a flood was coming. Methuselah was the oldest person in the bible and lived to be 969 years old. Jesus had 12 disciples. These are interesting facts but just memorizing facts doesn’t bring us closer to God.

Prayer changes things! In Philippians 4:6-7, the Apostle Paul points out just a few benefits of prayer. Paul says do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
