The very thought of surrendering to someone or something may seem\nfoolish, but it is in this foolishness that many have come to find peace,\nstrength and wisdom in a very busy world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much to contrary belief, prayer isn\u2019t for the\nweak. Instead I see prayer as one saying, I don\u2019t know it all and I\u2019m willing\nto listen and learn. I strongly believe some of the burnout issues many\nexperience today can be resolved through a time of prayer in quietness and stillness\naway from all distractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"797\" data-attachment-id=\"679\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/10\/the-unknown-truths-of-the-power-of-prayer\/young-african-american-woman-praying\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/young-African-American-woman-praying.jpg?fit=1200%2C797&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,797\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"young-African-American-woman-praying\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/young-African-American-woman-praying.jpg?fit=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/young-African-American-woman-praying.jpg?fit=1024%2C680&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/young-African-American-woman-praying.jpg?fit=1024%2C680&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/young-African-American-woman-praying.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/young-African-American-woman-praying.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/young-African-American-woman-praying.jpg?resize=1024%2C680&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/young-African-American-woman-praying.jpg?resize=768%2C510&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prayer has always played a big role in my life\nfrom the night time prayers my siblings and I recited at night or grace we said\nat mealtimes.&nbsp; In fact, I believe so much\nin the power of prayer because I saw the evidence of answers to specific\nprayers made growing up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My maternal grandmother was notorious for being\nthe prayer warrior in the neighborhood and if there was a sign of a sniffle,\nshe would immediately pray with us or anyone who stopped by and miraculously we\ngot healed from whatever was ailing at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coming from that upbringing, prayer continued to\nplay a huge role in my life right through college.&nbsp; In school, I\u2019d pray before exams or any big\npresentations. I also, saw the power of prayer at work when experiencing\ndifficulty in a class and I\u2019d simply ask for guidance on how to study in the\nform of prayer. The peace I felt after that time of prayer and the sense of\ndirection and clarity was typically all I needed to find my aha moment in that\ncourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"960\" data-attachment-id=\"681\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/10\/the-unknown-truths-of-the-power-of-prayer\/black-man-praying-unsplash-1920x960-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/black-man-praying-unsplash-1920x960-1.jpg?fit=1920%2C960&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,960\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"black-man-praying-unsplash-1920&amp;#215;960-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/black-man-praying-unsplash-1920x960-1.jpg?fit=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/black-man-praying-unsplash-1920x960-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C512&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/black-man-praying-unsplash-1920x960-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C512&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/black-man-praying-unsplash-1920x960-1.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/black-man-praying-unsplash-1920x960-1.jpg?resize=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/black-man-praying-unsplash-1920x960-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C512&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/black-man-praying-unsplash-1920x960-1.jpg?resize=768%2C384&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/black-man-praying-unsplash-1920x960-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an adult it has been no different through\noverwhelming situations from running a business or home life very quickly the\nscripture that says \u201cPile your troubles on God\u2019s shoulders\u2014 He\u2019ll carry your\nload, He\u2019ll help you out\u2026\u201d Psalm 55:22 comes to mind and boy do I pile my\ntroubles. Prayer remains my first line of therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After I suffered a miscarriage and my doctor\nrecommended therapy, I gently refused as I felt my strength and resolve comes\nfrom a place of prayer. I did pray, cry and pray again until I felt His peace\nto move on. For me, I knew prayer would do a lot more than therapy as I feel I\nhave a relationship that makes it easy for me to pour out my heart. I got up\nand didn\u2019t look back even in the weeks following as baby items I had purchased\ncontinued to arrive. Because I felt at peace in that situation, I knew I\nwouldn\u2019t fall apart. This isn\u2019t always the right course for everyone, so by all\nmeans seek therapy as sometimes a combination of both could be just what one\nneeds to resolve or walk through any outstanding issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"851\" height=\"564\" data-attachment-id=\"680\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/10\/the-unknown-truths-of-the-power-of-prayer\/a-prayer-for-you\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/a-prayer-for-you.jpg?fit=851%2C564&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"851,564\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Peter Brutsch&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D300&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1227003429&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Peter Brutsch&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;35&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0003125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"a-prayer-for-you\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/a-prayer-for-you.jpg?fit=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/a-prayer-for-you.jpg?fit=851%2C564&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/a-prayer-for-you.jpg?resize=851%2C564&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/a-prayer-for-you.jpg?w=851&amp;ssl=1 851w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/a-prayer-for-you.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/a-prayer-for-you.jpg?resize=768%2C509&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s something about being able to pour your\nheart out and not feel judged.&nbsp; Not being\nreligious about how or when I pray, has made a big difference as it really is\nlike communicating with a friend sitting in the chair across from you, no\nceremonies.&nbsp; I pray in my car, kitchen,\nshower, on my walks there is no boundaries or time limits just the rule of no\ndisturbance and\/or distractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So it was when I got the call that I would need\nto have a biopsy, my first and only reaction was to engage in sessions of\nprayer (have a heartfelt conversation with God).&nbsp; No phone calls were made to any family or\nfriends, just me in my prayer closet and boy did we have a long conversation\nand it was prayers in the ensuing days when I got the all clear that sustained\nme once again seeing the miraculous hand of God that comes from a place of\nrelationship and prayer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How I Find Serenity in the Place of Prayer By Lola Salvador Akinwunmi, Career &amp; Startup Strategist at LolaSal Inc.
