to the faithful in rcln,
during our after-prayer last night, i was pretty vulnerable about how i pray.
i approach prayer like a child - a literal baby - beckoning to his Father for help.
i've always derived my strength from vulnerability. i disarm the enemy by leaving him with no accusation.
you can't call me weak. you can't call me helpless. you can't call me broken. i acknowledge all of these things before the God of Heaven, and He responds with strength, help, and healing.
there are points in life when you will have no idea what to do.
that's a clear sign from God to pray. this is not just for big things but also small things.
there are times when i sit on the couch and i have no idea what i should be doing at that moment, so i go into my prayer closet.
i replace opportunities for boredom with prayer.
being uncertain isn't a position of weakness; it's an opportunity to cry to God and receive clarity from Him.
i do believe that uncertainty should reduce as one matures in the faith and hears from God regularly, but if we knew it all, there'd be no need for prayer.
the truth is, we don't pray enough. we can't pray enough. so there should always be a desire to talk to God.
i've spoken to many people about issues they're facing - from relationships to work to health issues. the more you are a helping hand to others, the more you will need to pray,
because the needs of others will become a burden for your soul, and we know all too well that we are called to bear one another's burdens.
we get clarity from God's instruction. God's instruction will always sound like it does in scripture. He is not the author of confusion; He is very clear on how He wants things done,
how He wants the ark built, the temple constructed, and His Son to reign.
He never guesses and is never surprised.
so when you don't know what to do,
talk to the one who always knows what to do.
in Christ,
o.
