Precious Prayers

This vision enriches our appreciation for the blessing of prayer. Not only are we able to call on God with confidence and hope. Here we see that he keeps our prayers. Like a keepsake only more precious. Like a treasure only more highly prized than any treasure on earth. Our prayers are kept in golden bowls, and guarded by the elders in heaven. I've not thought of my prayers in this manner before. I know I should pray. And I do. Earnestly: all of those prayers I mentioned above. And God not only listens to my prayers, answers them according to his goodness, wisdom, grace, and promises, he keeps them. They are a treasure to Him.
