In the midst of me feeling pretty sorry for myself (for really no particular reason) a song came on Pandora, "What Faith Can Do" and I'm reminded that no matter what if we have faith in God that he will move the mountains to fulfill our deepest desires. Here is the chorus to that song.
I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do
So that song definitely got my attention followed by this next song "Walk by Faith." It seems as if God knew what I needed to hear during my lunch hour.
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me
Help me to win my endless fears
You've been so faithful for all my years
With one breath You make me new
Your grace covers all I do
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me
Help me to win my endless fears
You've been so faithful for all my years
With one breath You make me new
Your grace covers all I do
And I'm just reminded that for too many years I haven't walked by faith. I'm always diligent to pray for others and their needs, but never myself (sad to say). I'm a little extremely Type A personality and know exactly what I want, right? Well, wrong.
So, now I'm 6 days into learning to be faithful, and I can already tell that God is moving those mountains and I'm excited to continue to share just how he is doing that.
My lunch time is over so it's back to work for me and my spirits are lifted!
There are several Bible verses about praying and praying for yourself in particular. One of the most well known and often quoted is:
ReplyDeleteMatthew 7:7 - Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
When I think about how to pray I always see in my mind the picture of Jesus on his knees praying in the Garden the night of his betrayal. Can you image, that even Jesus - the son of God, went to God in prayer to seek His council, love, strength and comfort.
I must admit that I often get so busy doing for others that I also forget to go to God in prayer.
Looking forward to reading about your journey.
Blessings and peace,
