The thought of continually changing can be disturbing, depending on what the subject is. Human nature tends to forget that every day is different and that I am not the person that I was yesterday.
Heavenly Father, You continue to bring me to a new place that’s evolving daily. I am so surprised at how You work.
You took me out of an insignificant status to land me on a spot to honor and glorify Your name. That’s why I confess that all that I am, all that I have, came from You.
What I am giving is from what You have given me. You entrusted me with so much; therefore I express my gratitude with my life. I am just a steward of blessings that You have entrusted me with.
You entrusted me with so much, Father. You helped me change my view of myself in my relationship with You, allowing me to envision myself sitting at a table with You to converse with You.
It’s amazing that not much is being said, because it’s about being with You instead of using many words that are incapable of conveying the depth of my inner thoughts. However, a full transaction takes place; everything that I need to know gets transmitted.
My prayer life is becoming fuller, more rewarding than ever. It used to be that praying ended when I was done; now there’s no end. It’s continual interaction, Father, between You and me.
You are my daily sustenance, the bread of life, a continual connection of giving and receiving. Thank You, Lord, for Your amazing love.
There is no such thing as being disconnected from You in this context, Father. Your presence is with me.
I am on a different plane, feeling like being on the ocean without mast or rudder.
I used to know where I was heading; now it feels like I do not have that luxury, subjected under Your control.
Now I am totally dependent on You, guided by the current and wind of the Holy Spirit. When I projected growing and maturing, I didn’t expect it to reach a place where I would feel out of control.
I Know, Lord, that You have a plan; it’s the thought of not knowing how it will Unfold that is the challenge. You will always give what’s good for the purpose of Your glory.
As I explore having You as my daily sustenance, I hope to overcome the challenge. Prayer happens to me, and it continues to grow in a never-ending spirit of prayer, becoming a state of being.
There is a Constant flow of communication between You and me. For Years I longed for this connection; eagerly I sought Your face. Now it’s happening. It’s like You appearing out of nowhere. It’s like water slowly rising up to reach a certain level.
I desired it and rejoice in it, but being here is different. I could never have described nor illustrated what it is like to have prayer happen to me.
Not too long ago, while driving to work, I wondered: what happened to all the prayers that I prayed since I had my encounter with You? Father, I spend hours in Your presence seeking Your face. So I wonder, as I still continue to pray because I love it, I enjoy praying, and I have often said that prayer is my lifeline.
Heavenly Father, I thank You. I am grateful for permitting prayer to happen to me, for the unspeakable joy, for propelling me into the Higher Life. I am amazed to be here; there are moments when it feels overwhelming to contain Your presence. When Solomon offered the sacrifices, the priests could not stand to minister because of Your presence.
As wisdom downloads in me through the Holy Spirit, I will rest in You, allowing it to run its course according to Your will. May I stay out of the way and remember that there might be obstacles on the path that stop or divert her in another direction. May I rest in You without taking offense, always remembering that I am a jar of clay that carries the treasure for Your glory.
Let me find joy in obedience.
Amen
