The Lord has a 360 degree view of your life. He can see the past. He can see the present and he can see the future.
So when he gives you the quiet nudge to go… obey. Follow him. Hard as it may be, you won’t regret it.

Go And I will Tell You What to Do…
All things work together for good
When God says go, we need to move. Be obedient to His instructions. Partake. Step forward in faith. Then He will show His mighty power as He did with men of old.
Peter, when he was told to cast his net on the other side asked, “Lord I am an expert fisherman. What you are asking me to do, does not make sense. It will not work.” The Lord answered—try me. In faith, Peter did and could hardly bring in the fish.
In the same way, Cornelius was instructed by God to go, and he would see Saul praying. Me Lord? How can I? Don’t you know? Can’t you see that this is the man who has been harming the people who speak directly in your name, yet you are asking me to go see him? Well yes, Go to Ananias’ house. Then…

I See Walls…
I see walls
I see walls on every side of me.
Dark walls.
Brick walls.
Walls that seem to be made out of steel and the toughest stone.
I can’t see my way through.
I’m overwhelmed
But then I am comforted in the knowledge that you can see for me.
As I hold onto you,
You embrace me Lord and hold me firm,
You comfort with the words,
All will be well
Everything is going to be alright.
But Still my heart longs for those days when I don’t have to worry.
Lord, you are in control and I long for quiet peace.
A peace that passes all understanding.
Unto you I lift up my praise.
My heart yearns for you in a dry and thirsty land.
For with Christ in the vessel I know I can smile at the storm

CHALLENGES To Exercising Prayer in Life
•Sin: Say No to Temptation
•Silence: Lord are you listening?
•Shifting Answers: You ask for A and he gives you B. Know that he is wise and knows what’s best for us. Not my will but yours lord
•We need The prayer of others when We can’t cry out on our own. Our heavenly father even prays for us too.
Sometimes we must pray….Lord grant me justice against my adversaries.

GranShell, Prayer Doesn’t Work…
Prayer doesn’t work. This statement came from my 7-year grandson who had asked his mom and dad for a dog before his 7th birthday. He did not believe he would get it so I told him to pray. He did. Eight months later after receiving many other gifts that he loved but no puppy, he apparently gave up.
While driving home one day, he almost knocked me off my feet when he said “GranShell, Prayer Doesn’t Work”. Indeed his statement surprised me. It got me thinking. How many times we as adults become disappointed in the Lord’s seemingly unresponsiveness to our pleas for something we consider important to us? What my grandson did not know was that his parents were contemplating his request… but of course a dog comes with major responsibilities. These include considering the actual type of dog to get (one that was hypoallergenic); the cost to care for a dog including health insurance and such; whether he is ready to take care of the puppy, among others.
Doesn’t the Lord do the same? He is answering …but often He wants to give us the right things at the right time–when we are ready for it. We can think of examples like Moses. The delay was to prepare him so he took him away from pharaoh’s palace and sent him to become a shepherd. Later when he was ready, he used him to lead the children of Israel out of oppression. Joseph too was innocently sent to prison for a crime he had not committed. Joseph’s trials were divine in order to prepare him for bigger things. He later had the responsibility for the land during a major famine.
Today, may we have hope that the Lord is coming through for us some way, some how. Be patient …wait. He’s got you.
Blessings overflow,
