Prayer Is Not The Last Resort - It Is Instead The First Step: New Article About The Power Of Prayer Now Available At B.BéNI Jewelry

B.BéNI produces spectacular Christian jewelry that represents deep biblical faith

That well-known, oft-used phrase, "All we can do is pray," implies that prayer is an inferior last resort. God is there for us at all times, in every way possible. Unfortunately many of use see prayer as a last resort, something to do when we have exhausted all other possibilities. If God is available to us at all times for fellowship and prayer, all we need to do is ask. A recent article on the Bbeni website explains why:

"Well, all we can do is pray..." We have all either said it or heard it, right? This phrase has always bothered me and now I am thinking about exactly why it doesn't feel good, right or even respectful to say this. First of all, when we say things like "Well, I guess all we can do is pray..." it minimizes the value of one of the most powerful tools and weapons that God has given us. It makes it sound as though prayer is an inferior last resort. Quite the opposite is true - prayer should not be a "last resort", prayer should be a "first resort"!  Prayer should be part of our daily life, not just something we do when all else fails. Especially in today's world as we deal with the pandemic and other atrocities that we seem to be hearing about daily, I have heard people saying this more and more. It makes it even more important to understand what Scripture tells us about this topic.

"We are given instruction in prayer in Ephesians 6:18. "Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints." Often, we turn to prayer as a last resort, when our efforts as humans don't give us the desired results. When we have done everything else we can do, we hand it over to God. This is really quite backwards because scripture tells us that God wants us to reach out to Him for every need all along the way. Matthew 10:29-31 "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?  Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." When we get to the end of our own efforts, we realize that God is our only hope. He always was. He was there all the time, waiting patiently for us."

Author Y Abrahaim Releases 'Travesty', Book About Race Relations In America

Abrahaim creates inspirational literature that gives readers a new sense of awareness about the world around them

Author Y. Abrahaim has announced the release of 'Travesty', a book about race relations in America. Abrahaim creates inspirational literature that gives readers a new sense of awareness about the world around them. Truth, integrity and character play major roles throughout all her works. She produces penetrating visions through the minds, motives and lives of her characters; illustrating that people do not see the world as it is - they instead see the world as they are.

'Travesty' details a forbidden interracial relationship during the Montgomery bus boycott that leads to lies, treachery and murder. 40 years later, as a cold case file, secrets are revealed and  lies uncovered as unknown evidence from an unknown witness surfaces, revealing the truth behind a race relationship that ultimately rocked the lives of all involved.

This book depicts a “Travesty” through the eyes of a young Klansman who discovers the travesty surrounding his life, and through this discovery, he realizes the love, and meaning behind his life is just that … a travesty. This realization derives through the most unexpected individual; a young African-American woman. Through the realization of this “travesty” a life is taken, and through that other lives are destroyed. 40 years later he now has to confront the reason behind this life lost, and bring clarity to his role in the murder that rocked the lives of all involved.

"I wrote this book," Abrahaim stated, "to illustrate the lack of reason behind prejudice. I wrote this book to highlight how prejudice creates a travesty, and the power behind a travesty. Consider the definition of travesty which is a 'false representation, distortion or debased version' of something. The view of African Americans in this country then and even now is a travesty. My books shines a light on the travesty behind race relations in America. "

Abrahaim has also recently released 'Real Women Pray',  a combination of prayers and poems that uplift, motivate and inspire women of all ages. Other works currently in production include:

'Memoirs of Capitol Hill: Capitol Hill, The President And Me'. The first in a four volume series, the storyline details an exclusive interview with a retired Secret Service agent who reveals an unprecedented friendship, and thus, creates  an unlikely one. Through this interview the two discover the “what” that was lacking in their lives, while creating a memoir expounding on the life of the most controversial President to have ever been inaugurated into the White House.

'The Sacrifice', In which The Law of Free-Will creates a battle zone within the Universe between good and evil over what we know as Earth.

'The King And I: Emmanuel: A musical that talks about the life of a King through the eyes of those who knew Him as  Emmanuel, and were touched by Him as Jesus Christ.

Y. Abrahaim is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at yisrah.smith@gmail.com. 'Travesty' and 'Real Women Pray' are available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Payhip. More information is available at her website at http://www.InsprirationalLiterature.net.

About Y. Abrahaim:

Y. Abrahaim has been writing since the age of 9. She believes being able to create a life, an event, a theme, plot, in addition to creating the effect the event, theme, plot has on the character is the most exciting act one can exercise. She also believes that being an author is empowering, in that an author develops an individual and through that creation another life is touched, moved and empowered. Thus a mind is opened to an endless possibility of another world that exists in a life created on paper.

Dolapo Babalola, Author Of ‘My God Even In The Last Minute’, Named As One Of ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’

Babalola was picked from a field of hundreds of authors who appeared on The Authors Show. Her inspirational book, entitled ‘My God Even In The Last Minute’, helps people understand how God works behind the scenes to create miracles, sometimes at the last minute

Dolapo Babalola, author of ‘My God Even In The Last Minute’, has been named one of ’50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’. Her honors came as a result of her appearance on The Authors Show. Babalola was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process. ‘My God Even In The Last Minute’ is an inspirational Christian book that details how God works in people’s lives, often behind the scenes and sometimes at the last minute.

“It is an honor,” stated Dr. Babalola, “and a dream come true to be included in the prestigious 2011 edition of the ‘50 Great Writers You Should be Reading’. Certainly this is a testament to the fact that it is never too late to have your dreams come true.”

In her inspirational book, readers will learn about the journey of a young aspiring physician who, in the pursuit of a permanent residency in the United States, faced multiple obstacles and challenges. Each day through this ongoing ordeal, she experienced God in a way that she never would have imagined. God showed up in the most unexpected places, in the last minute, and always with a life-changing lesson. The greatest lesson in our darkest hours of uncertainty is that God is close by, quietly working behind the scenes, bolstering our faith for a miracle.

A recent Amazon review stated, “Dolapo presents a God who does not abandon us, a God who is always there even in the darkest time of night, and a God that will make our joy full in the morning. ‘My God, Even In The Last Minute' is told from the prism of Dolapo's experience on the path of obtaining a US permanent residency. She dispenses motivational bible verses and some information on the process of H1B documentation and eventual green card. It was also a fun read, tells an engaging story and is well written.”

Dolapo Babalola is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at mygelm@gmail.com. More information is available at her website. ‘My God Even In The Last Minute’ is available at Amazon.com, CreateSpace and at her website.
