Prayer...its so incredible. To sit, stand, kneel, weep, shout, whatever goes and to do it all to our heavenly father who is listening attentively to every single prayer being said. Every prayer. What a mighty God who can listen to million prayers happening at once and still respond to them all. Mind blowing.
At one point we got given hearts saying The Lord God says... and we spent a time just listening to his voice for our lives and what kept repeating was "Get Ready" it isn't the first time I have heard God saying this to me but as days go by it starts to make a little more sense to me and things start falling into place for me. God has put some big passions on my heart that I just cannot escape from and I think this "Get Ready" is linked to this.
I have absolutely no idea about my future. People ask me "so what field of social work are you going to go into?" and my immediate reaction is "oh, em, don't think I'm going to be a social worker..." What reassures me is that God knows what is going to happen to me, how is going to use me for his glory. I know he has me in the place at this moment for a purpose and I need to remind myself of this, not get frustrated but relish in where he has placed me. Learn from it, listen to God for what he wants me to do right here, right now. As the bible says "Do not worry about tomorrow for today has enough worries itself" and its true. We need to live like today is our last day-enjoy it but also realise the urgency of proclamation to others. I want to enjoy what God has me in the now but I know that it is part of my walk to where he is taking me to and what he is developing me into. How exciting is the fact that God is continually moulding us and wanting us to shine like stars for his kingdom. How incredible he wants to use broken vessels like us for anything. He is God! He could and can do it without us but he want us, he longs for us. Surely we should want to long and want the creator the of the heaven and the earth, the lord and sustainer of life. I definitely want to be near that!
God, I am ready.
