I have a few pictures to post, but I'm on the wrong computer! I did want to tell you about a God thing today. I read the Living Proof Ministries blog pretty frequently. Beth Moore and her daughters write this blog. Today I was reading a post Beth made last night (I believe). At the end, she asked for prayer for herself and the ladies she is ministering to this week in New England. Then, she said, I'll pray for you, too. Here is what she wrote:
My faithful Father, Maker of Heaven and Earth, Ruler of Land and Sea, I lift Your elect to You. I pray this week for You to grant them clarity in a very specific area where they are confused and not sure what to do next. As You said through Your prophet Ezekiel, You have put Your Spirit in them and You will MOVE them to follow Your will. Remind them that they are not stuck. Not without choices. Not without leadership. Whisper in each ear, "this is the way, walk ye in it." Cause them - and me - to cease beating on doors that are closed and walk through the one that You Yourself left open even if it's not our personal favorite Door #1. Bring confessions to their lips - and mine - of Your gracious providence and Your worthiness to be trusted and praised. Tend to their hearts. Where they feel battered and bruised but too busy to stop long enough to be healed, hem them in Your faithful hands, hold them still, and rejoice over them with singing. Tell them again how You love them. How You've called them. How You don't make mistakes. Grant them - and me - spirits of wisdom and revelation that we may know You better and recognize You when we bump smack into Your Presence. And more than anything else, circumcise our hearts to love You and to love that frustrating person in our lives as we love ourselves. Teach us what the Apostle Paul meant when he told the Galatians that all that matters is faith expressing itself in love. We want to be Godly women, Lord. We cry out to You for help. We cry out to You for You.
In the saving, delivering, empowering Name of Jesus,
Amen
In the saving, delivering, empowering Name of Jesus,
Amen
Can I just tell you how this spoke to me this morning? It was exactly what I needed to have prayed over me, exactly what the cry of my heart was! Isn't God awesome? You can read Beth's blog here. Also, you can watch many teaching sessions Beth recorded for Life Today here.
