This morning it dawned on me why I have attached many snapshots and favorite scriptures to a wall-hung quilt. They are the target of meditation and prayer. The visual aids help me to focus on keeping prayer needs at the forefront of my mind. Even after I walk away from the quilt I gaze at during my devotion time, the people and situations represented on the quilt stay fresh on my heart as I drive on the freeway, watch t.v., exercise, or participate in other activities.
I've learned that it's not where you pray, but rather the position of your heart.
It further gives me encouragement not to hold grudges, resentments, or anything that would make me an ineffective prayer partner. The Word clearly states in James 5:16 ~ "Confess your faults to one another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
