Crystal Clear
Posted on November 16th, 2008 No commentsI trust that when my relationship is right with Christ, His personal commands will be crystal clear (or at least far more clear than they are now) to provide the confidence of authenticity I’m looking for.

In the Moment
Posted on September 30th, 2008 No commentsI prayed last night in a way that was somewhat new to me. I have gained insight recently that I should be focusing much more on the relationship with God, rather than focusing so much on what He wants me to do. God wants my love, and THEN he can entrust me with his work. Love is first in his heart, then He can provide direction.
So what I did was pray to Him in a more personal way. I was completely up-front and honest and personal rather than formal. I immediately received an answer.
The answer I felt impressed upon me was that I have been asking for God to map out His plans. That is not what God wants. God impressed upon me that He is available to me at all times, and will answer in the moments of decision, not in the efforts of planning. This means that when confronted with this path or that path, God wants to be involved. God will also guide my actions, but only in the moment, not forecasting. I was blown away by how direct and to the point I felt His response was to me. [God’s voice but in reflection]I commit to inviting God to be involved in moment-to-moment decisions throughout my life.

Prayer
Posted on September 25th, 2008 No commentsI am so thankful for the Holy Spirit to be working in my life.
Lord, I pray that I would hear your voice and understand that it’s you. I pray that I would understand how you are guiding my life and what our next step is together.
Maybe I don’t need to know. Maybe I just need to trust that He has it under control. What He plans, He accomplishes.
I pray that my life would be used to glorify God.
