‘For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to Him.’ 1 Samuel 1:27 ESV
Good mornin’ SweetSoul!
The picture is of our brand new nephews, Hayden and Jennings Bryan. They are miracle babies. And, they have arrived. We asked the Almighty for them. We prayed big prayers. And, we got passionate and sold-out with our request. And, in perfect timing (not our timing), did God ever deliver!!
What are you asking of the Almighty? How will your request make a profound difference for His Kingdom? Will you work it like clay on a potter’s wheel? Water it with your blood and tears and laughter until it blooms? Through the elbow grease and sweat and pain, will you allow yourself to bloom in the process?
Oh DearHeart, your petitions lead to miracles. He so wants to add to the multi-volume set of your life-story. The crash and burn episodes lead in to another season, and another, and another, until glory finds its place in you.
God Most High is not afraid when you pray for your biggest dreams. He doesn’t turn away when you pray for the impossible. That doesn’t scare God. In fact, if you are not praying for the impossible, you are insulting God. For many, our prayer lives consist of stuff we could make happen with a little hard work and effort. God wants us to pray for things that require DIVINE intervention. Ask God to part a RED SEA, that’ll get His attention. Ask Father God for the sun to stand still. I wish our generation would pray the way Moses prayed. I believe things would change in our world if we began praying with that kind of passion and desire. I believe this is the generation that that begins to happen, and I believe it begins with you and me. This is a pivotal time for us.
There is nothing God loves more than fulfilling our hopes and dreams and this is what I believe, I believe that we are one prayer away from seeing God do something huge in your life that you never even dreamed possible . . . but He has been dying to give you.
Ask.
