@VisionaryEZ317 - I loved your comment. You know, I have bern asking God for what I thought was BIG for me over and over. My prayers have not been answered and I have not asked amiss. There is more prayer, meditating on the Lord for me. I have had some difficult times over the years; Deaths in the family, severed relationships w/ siblings, hair loss due to stress, Administrator on the job disrespecting me on the regular. I know the Lord is with me. I trust Him completely. I will do better.
WOW! 😳
This worship challenge gave me pause for real! I had to stop and really think back to a time I asked God for something BIG. I remembered 2 times and He answered both of those with remarkable miracles. Great right? Except...since then I have not asked for ANYTHING BIG. As I say with this thought today I realized that I was no longer confident that I was deserving of the BIG ask.😔 All of my recent significant prayers began with “JUST”. When I was sick in my body, “Lord please JUST make me whole again.” When my job laid me off, “Lord JUST open another door.” When I wanted to know my purpose, “Lord JUST show me what I’m supposed to do.” After learning purpose and wanting to walk in it, “Lord, please JUST don’t leave me our here to drown.” Just...just...just! I had been reducing my BIG ask to a just in hopes that God would at least be ok with doing the small thing. Shame on me for thinking so small of my GREAT GOD! so today I asked BIG and I’m believing for BIGGER! From here on out I’m praying the TOO MUCH OIL type of prayers! This blessed my soul in a BIG way!🙏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️
