Wow! Thank you so much for analogy between ourselves to God and a child to a parent. Your reminder hit home that I need to cleanse my hands and heart before God. I need to accept the love He has for me. No matter what he sees, He still loves me, but I need to approach Him with a repentive heart.

Well I think I have been found out.... This feels like it is pointing the finger right at me.

I have had many feelings that on the outside I hide from others figuring if I don't acknowledge them then they will go away. OH HOW WRONG, they get worse. I have been really working on opening my heart to all especially GOD.

I always stand there on Sunday morning watching others raise their hands and knowing that the spirit was trying to get me to raise my hands just like them. I just don't really do it, but this weekend, I listened and raised them. Ok they weren't as high as others and still kind of close in, but they were raised. And it felt odd, but it felt wonderful !!!!!! I didn't turn in to a pumpkin or get laughed at by others, in fact I don't think they care at all. Why do we give that fear of what will someone think so much power? When in truth they REALLY don't care. I felt freed some this weekend.

Thank you LORD for not giving up on me.

Reed:

I pray in agreement with you, and your family. Satan is such a Liar and he tries to get us to be discouraged which makes us go off doing such stupid things. I have been there myself and I do understand what you are going through. I have put your name on my prayer page and belive me I will pray with you.

I have a prayer request for a very good friend "Greg McGinnis". He has a father in law who is very close to death and he has been trying to witness to the Father and law and other members of the family. But he is meeting a lot of negativity, from them all. Please pray that his father in law will hear and respond now and the other family members, will see the miracle of a sved life, so they to will have changed hearts as well. Keep Greg in your prayers as he tries to stay positive amongst all this. Greg has also applied for hi ministers license through is local church, pray that God will have his way in this as well.
Pray That I can be used in my words of encouragement as we share with each other.

I too was raised to belive that the only way to pray was with my eyes closed hands folded and being on my knees. I am sure it does not diminish the prayer to be in that stature, but I am just as sure that God hears me when I am in many other states of posture and even attitudes. I like to compare it to my Conversations with my earthly father. I know he has litened to me when I was extremely serious and in a reverent posture. But he also will listen to me when I am excited, worried, confused, playful, or even when I just seem to talk nonsense. He may have different ways of responding to me with each posture I speak in, but he always listens and responds. Not once has my father ever said " you have to be sitting in the living room on the center of the couch, with your feet on the floor before i will listen to what you have to say" no he always wants to hear me and enjoys sharing conversations with me on all levels.

This too is what I think God wants from us. To be real, and have a sharing relationship in our conversations, ('prayers") with him

Thank you God

One prayer ha opened my eyes to see the power and strength that comes in numbers. That we must be faithful at all times and trust that the good lord is going to lead us where he needs us most. That love as hard as it is to understand right now , may have to rely on my faith and patience before it can find it's home back in my heart. And that the most important thing that I can do right now is pray for her, that she too will start to trust and understand all the love it will take to heal from the past and become the amazing person that I know waits behind that smile.

My prayer is for the 3 missions trips our youth group is doing this summer. One, in England, did street ministry and talked to kids in schools and returned two days ago. Another, in Brazil, ran a summer camp for children who live on a dump and showed them their love to show them the love of God and this group returns today. My prayers for these two missions is for two things: the people ministered to would not let it pass them by, but they would continue to learn about God and grow closer to Him; also that the youth that went would always remember the ways they were blessed by these trips and they would continue to be missionaries back home to their friends and in their schools.
The last missions trip is two young men, ages 18 and 19, who are going with a few adults to a country in East Asia. They are teaching English to the people there and teaching them the gospel as well. However, due to the sensitive nature of the subject in that area, they must use code words as they communicate to each other for fear of being discovered as missionaries. They will be there for six weeks and I just pray that they would be successful in the work of the Lord and safe as well.
Lastly, I pray that these teenagers would be an example to the rest of the body of my church as they return so that our body would reach out to those in our area and be active in their walk with Christ.

Aside from seeing the lives of my three children transformed, and other family members as well, I “LONG” to see God work in my workplace environment.
It’s not a bad job. There are probably worse places to be employed. And with the current economy it’s just a good thing to have a job. But it is not my dream job. SO it would go without saying there are moments that I really don’t like my job. There are moments of tears and even times when I’d like to bolt out the front door never to return. But without skill or an education I am kind of stuck. But maybe I’m stuck because God wants me to be stuck – there.
It may be for a season that I am to be God’s light in a place that otherwise would not have it. So I should remember that I wrestle not against flesh and blood. I should be careful not to become a stumbling block to those who have not yet come to Christ. I could be planting seeds that years from now will be watered and possibly grow / flourish into healthy relationships with our Lord. But it would be so much easier to endure if I could see some purpose, progress, and fruit even; of what I am struggling through.

Like a hammer to a nail this devotional hits the point right square on its head. There is no point hiding from God, He already knows.
In my own spiritual walk, which has been up and down, I have always been very vocal to God about the momentary situation. In very good times I have always praised Him and in the less than good times I have cried, and yes even yelled at Him (I know – gasp!) But the way I looked at it was like David in the Bible. He always spoke his heart to God. There is no place I can possibly go that God does not see my heart. So I would tell Him so.
But with my being open towards God I have still been very private in public settings. I don’t share openly what is in my heart. For example, I know there have been times during worship that I have felt the spirit move and I should lift my hands more. But I don’t, I keep to myself. Thus I have been selfish, and I feel as this lesson was to point me to becoming less reserved with my praise or prayers to God.

It's so funny that you mention that. I actually pray with my eyes open because the best place for me to pray is in my car. I kind of have to keep my eyes open. Its pretty much the only time of the day when I know that I'll be alone and since church is a half hour away I have a lot of time to really connect with my Abba, my father. I'm come to realize that my earthly father will never be perfect and, if I'm ever a father, I'll never even reach the perfection that my Father in Heaven has. I love Him and He loves me. He listens to me everytime that I pray and gives me an answer in His time and in His way. The answer is something that He wants me to hear and not what I always want to hear at the moment but, with maturity, it makes sense. Thanks for giving us this great perspective!

I have a 'friend' from school living with me this summer, because she has an internship in Manhattan, and I live nearby. I keep trying to remind myself that she was raised differently than me, but it's been hard... really hard for the last 2 months. She's very disrespectful, so my entire family complains about her to me, and I can't do anything about it. She has a very low self - esteem, and whenever I bring anything up to her, she either ignores it completely or disagrees. I also have realized that it is not my job to help her learn whatever lesson God is taking her through right now, because she's not listening. She doesn't even realize that everyone is getting annoyed by her treatment of the rest. I have been trying to pray, and I know God answers in His time, but it is just a comfort to know others are also praying.
Another quickie that I just found out as well... my mom NEEDS to quit her job that she just started a month ago, because of issues with her boss. Maybe... just maybe, she should be praying for her. They are looking to move quickly to Indiana, where I go to school. NJ to Indiana is a HUGE difference and I'm not sure they know that. They love Taylor... not Indiana.
Thank you.
