How much does a prayer weigh? There is a story of a grocery store
owner who tried to weigh one. A tired looking woman came into the store &
asked for enough food to make a dinner for her children.. The grocery asked
her how much she could spend. The woman answered, “I have nothing to offer
but a little prayer.”
The storekeeper was not very sentimental nor religious, so he said,
half-mockingly, “Write it on a paper, and I’ll weigh it.” So she did.
The grocer placed the prayer on the weight side of his old-fashioned
scales. Then he began poling food on the other side; but to his amazement,
the scale would not go down. He finally became flustered and gave the woman
a large bag of food. The grocer never saw the woman again, but he treasures
the slip of paper upon which the woman’s prayer had been written –“Please,
Lord, give us this day our daily bread.

Count your blessings instead of your crosses,
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joy instead of your woes,
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears,
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean,
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth,
Count on God instead of yourself.

1. Praise & adoration: responding to the glory and grandeur of God.
2. Thanksgiving: achnowledging the Giver of all good gifts.
3. Confession: admitting our failures and asking for pardon.
4. Petition: asking God to take care of us.
5. Intercession: asking God to help others.
