“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.” So, while looking through my bible I thought I knew what I was going to post about, but God took me in a different direction. So, I looked for other things, for about 10 minutes, and I gave up. I looked through a journal of mine, and I read some old prayers, and then it hit me. I'm going to pray! So I wanted to be relational so I searched for a quote about prayer to structure things a bit, and I really liked this one. I know it seems weird to be quoting Ghandi, but I think he nailed it on the head. I don't know about you, but when ever I prayer for something, my heart longs for it to be done. Surrendering whatever situation to God is giving him that and revealing that weakness.
So what I sensed God telling me to post about is to just pray. And I hope that you pray with me also. God, You are mighty. You are great. There truly are no words that can measure up to how completely beautiful you are. The fact that you love me, even after how many times I've screwed up, amazes me. I am so precious to you, and I love that. I surrender myself to you, God. I long to be close to your heart, and know you more. God, I so want to say that you are my one desire, but if i am being honest, I desire a lot of things. Break those things down in my life God. I desire you, to know your heart. Grow me, and take me deeper. I want to go where ever you call me God, and I pray that where ever you plant me, that I will impact that area for your Kingdom. My desire is to go past the wanting point, and just go pursue you. More. I pray for relentless faith, for strength and boldness God that you would do a work through me. The perseverance to push through the hard times, and be cradled in your arms. To crawl to you when I cannot walk anymore, and to rest in you when I am dead tired. But also to rejoice in you when I am happy, to continuously praise you when things are going, "smooth", and to never forget that everything good comes from you. God, you are my everything, and I cannot do anything with out you. Stir in my life. I love you. I love you. I love you. In Jesus name, Amen.
