I Love when the Holy Spirit speaks to me!
I laid in bed last night pleading with God to speak to me and this is what He said: So you know when people say "Ohhh ya only pray when you need something or when you're desperate." Well think about this! Do you really think God worries so much about why you pray to Him, or do you think just the fact you are praying to Him is important? I will step out on the limb and say that God loves a "good recession" or a "bad economy" or just desperate people crying their hearts out to the Lord Almighty, in the name of Jesus. I think there are times when the Lord's prayer is appropriate, not so much word for word, but for content. I would think that God is so overjoyed by the way the world is breaking the hearts of His children, we are crying out in desperation to our Father. We are taking pay cuts, getting laid off our jobs, losing our homes, seeing our savings dwindle. All of these things that are not supposed to matter to us so much, but the truth is they do. I am learning to realize that God is really the one in control and not the world around me. God has really shown me the last few years, how prayer has changed my Christian life. In my hour of need I've prayed in desperation, and wondered how I made it through my walk with Christ without really realizing how prayer can truly change the world around me. I understand now that God has protected me and my family, kept me moving in the right direction while He patiently waited to hear from me in my hour of need, knowing full well when that time will come. And has God ever blessed me and my family since I've realized the true power of prayer. I see how prayer has changed me and the world around me, the Holy Spirit is saying to me now, you know that desperation you felt, you know that passion you've had, you know how you've accepted guidance? Now....GET THAT FOR SOMEONE NOT IN YOUR FAMILY BUT IN MINE! AMEN!
