Recent Prayers II
My recent prayers have been really intense and honestly, I hardly know what to pray over because there is so much to pray for.
Knowing my cries, Holy Spirit then showed me some things that I need to pray for myself based on: Psalm 25 especially this gem in verses 4 & 5:
Psalm 25:4-5 (NKJV) Show me Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
On You I wait all the day.
To be honest with you guys, I don’t know how to be a man. I used to not be good with finances. I suck at being a husband. Was a terrible dad. I didn’t even take care of my body.
I may not know how to do those things. But God does. Therefore, I ask Him to be my Teacher.
Also…
Promise of God: Psalm 26:1b (NKJV) …I have also trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip.
Blessing of God: Psalm 20:4 (NKJV) May He grant you according to your heart’s desire,
And fulfill all your purpose.
I am at this time in my life where I should be worrying or fearing or doubting God and the desires of my heart. Instead, in this moment, my spirit beat the snot out of my flesh and thus, I praise and worship the Lord Most High with a heart full of joy.
I’m trying to be a better student right now, so I can actually make it habit to go to Him first.
It’s awesome that you are in the habit of prayer. =)
In this post I wasn’t as forthcoming as I should have been.
Recently, something absolutely wonderful has happened in my life. It is in this time that I am praying and crying out to God for direction, guidance, blessing, honour and will.
I pray and pray a lot. It is easy to pray when “darkness closes in” or the “when the roads are marked with suffering”. How easy it is to forgot to pray when and especially for “where Your streams of abundance flow.”
It is those good times that I beg to God to manage, control and give me the ability to handle His blessings. Above all, keep checking my heart with every beat.
In this habit, I want to go to God first for it all.
When I am joyful, blessed, happy, hopeful, renew, strengthen and protected, I go to Him first and then tell others of how good my God is.
When everything is falling apart and my world seems to be at an end or when the people I love are hurt, I still go to Him first and then talk to others and lift everyone in prayer.
The great difference between living under the law and living under grace…..
The law says we have to be able to do it….and it is all of our own strength (which is just plain LITTLE)……
But living under grace says “There is NO WAY I can do these things….. But I choose to obey you….and trust you….and in FAITH- allow you to help me do these things….”
So yeah- living under the law- there is a LOT we can’t do.
Under Grace…..ahhhhh. It’s so sweet.
That is a random comment- and might not make ANY sense- but I’ve just been studying about Law vs. Grace……
so there you have it.
