Pray. Pray hard. Pray harder.
My phone reminder says “Pray” everyday at 1pm. A 1 minute prayer at 1pm to lift up to God that 1 item of business that, is not my first priority, but because Of it’s nature, is priority on our (My husband and I) prayer list. Its the one part of our life that I can have full faith in one minute, and be at a complete loss another. In my flesh, if I let it get the best of me, it can be real drain on my life.
However, there’s those moments that We allow to God to use it to strengthen our faith.
Prayer is a mystery. It’s the opportunity to give away praise, grateful adoration, supplication, and peaceful silence all to the All Knowing, Ever Present, All Powerful Creator of the universe. His name is God. Jesus is His son. And He gave us the Holy Spirit to guide us on this narrow road called the Christian life.
This 1 request has been top on our prayer list for many years. It’s an earthly complicated mess. There are no easy answers. It’s a “thorn” in our side…as The Apostle Paul would describe it.
Paul would also tell us that, although painful, it’s also a blessing. It keeps us humble. It helps us serve those who otherwise we may choose not to serve. To hand it over to the One who knows it’s purpose. It keeps me on my knees. Literally, on my knees in desperate prayer.
We have goals set, which can’t be met. We make a plan, that can’t be carried through. It’s all because these goals and these plans are dependent on other people. These people that We’re praying for, don’t show up. They don’t keep their commitments. Man made equipment breaks down. Bills flow. Yet, I know God has a plan. I know God will see it through. He will not leave us nor forsake us.
Therefore, I pray. And, then, I pray harder.
I’m thankful that God has the answers. Where would I be without Him?
So, I Carrie On. I remember Colossians 3 that reminds me, Since then, I have been crucified and raised with Christ, to seek the things that are above, on heavenly things, where Christ is, not the earthly things. For I died with Him, and He is and I am now manifested in glory. (summarized)
Jesus loves Me and You! Don’t Forget that. ❤️
Stay High
