this morning, Holy Spirit woke me up early. i tried to adhere to God's voice. i meditated on the Word. then each verse, i wrestled with the command, the blessing, the promise. i responded with repentance, praying for deliverance, praying the blessing and/or the promise over me. i felt good. i kept thanking God over and over and over because the Word of God excites me. i feel good when i understand it. i feel good when i realize that God has provisions for me to live on earth, yet if i do not glean the Word, seek God's face, listen to God's voice, i can not and will not walk in those provisions. after a while, i decided to exercise. i was greatful for 40 minutes before preparing for church. my body is sore from yesterday's chores yet it is no excuse to not to stay in shape.
as the morning progressed, i realized that i needed to talk to God more. i didnot want my prayer concerns to interfere with worship, so i prayed a little and focused on worship. when worship was over, i jumped on the bus, so i could go home. i talked to God from the bus stop to the house. on the bus, i just thanked God for the Word and the worship. i put my stuff down and ran into my room.
i poured out the rest of my heart to God and i asked God if it was okay for someone else to pray for me. God placed my friends face in my heart. i texted her and said, 'do you mind praying for me?' she called in a few minutes and i told her my concerns. she restated what i told her and allowed You to lead her. Your loving arms surrounded me and You told me to 'Receive My Peace. I AM here.' i wanted to cry. God's love for me/us is undescribable. God whispered in my ears as the prayer went into praise and i shared some of what HOly Spirit said. she prayed some more and then the conversation ended. i was before God just saying thank YOu. after a while, i got my journal to record the experience.
i was glad that i talked to God first and i was glad God allowed me to share my concerns with a fellow sister in Christ.
the bible says:
1 Peter 5:6-7 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
God, help Your children remember that humility is healthy and necessary to maintain a sweet relationship with YOu. God help Your children remember that they can talk to You about everything and You shall respond. in Jesus' name, amen
