i love to pray. i love talking to God, listening to God, fighting with God. i love just spending time in the loving arms of the Almighty. even though this is what i love, i get frustrated some times. you know how sometimes you talk to God and God talks to you and the dialogue is cool. other times, you talk to God and instead of saying, 'i will wait for You to respond.' you tell God, 'can you hurry up? i have something else to do?' when i get an attitude with God, i know several things: i am human. God still loves me. God will talk to me now. or God will wake me up like at 2 am in the morning when i have calmed down. nevertheless, i love Abba because i am still being transformed into the woman of God that i am called to be. i used to fight with God all the time when i was younger. now the fights have lessened yet we still share an intimacy that is indescribable. i know God's ways are not my ways and God's thoughts are not my thoughts, i just love the reassurance that my steps are ordered by God.
the Psalmist states in Psalm 42:11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
and the beginning of the Psalm proclaims in verse 1: As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.
God, i know that You care for me. God i know that i should cast all my cares upon You and Your peace that surpasses all understanding will keep and guard my heart, my mind and my soul. God i am grateful that Your perfect love cast out all fears. God i am glad that You shall continue to perfect those things which concern me. most of all i am glad that i am not condemned. i confess my sins because You are faithful and just to forgive me of my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. i will continue to pant for you each day that i live. in Jesus' name, amen.
be encouraged. seek God for answers. seek God's Word for answers. trust God with all your heart. God will never leave you nor forsake you.
