My diamond for today... It can be the dentist. It can be talking. It can be friends. It can be money. It can be my children. It can also be my father's health. 

But I must pick one and the one diamond I chose today is praying.

I don't always know when and where or how to pray. People always makes me feel as if my prayers isn't holy enough. I don't use enough big words and I don't pray very long - but I do know this - I pray and someday my prayers will be answered.

When I went to the dentist today, I was very scared. I don't like going to the dentist. But some days it is necessary. Naturally when the dentist start to work I close my eyes - too afraid to watch. I don't want to see any of his tools or little gadgets. But today as I was laying there I started to pray. I prayed for lots of stuff but also for the dentist. I prayed that God will give him wisdom as he was doing his job. I Prayed that God will make me calm and I prayed and prayed and prayed. When I stopped praying it was done. A job that usually take one hour he did in 40 minutes. The time went by so quickly. 

When I walked out I could bless him and wish him as blessed day for I knew God was with him and he would not forsake him. I realised that being a dentist is also a job God called someone to do. It is something he wants to be and something he is good at.

Praying doesn't have boundaries. Praying doesn't have rules. 

All praying requires is a pure heart. You must make the time to pray. But most importantly I think a prayer is just a conversation between you and God. It is when you can tell God all your secrets and your hearts deepest desires. It is when you  take your pain and put it in His hands and trust Him to deal with it.

My prayers were answered today and if I think about it lots of other times too.

Please think about how those prayers changed your life........and then pray again for conversations with God is something we need every day. Even if it is just to say thank you !!!!

Look at the picture in the beginning. 

I think prayers releases the light within each and every one of us.

A light that shines from within, a light that comes from God.
