take hold of Your purpose for my
life. I repent of and forsake
whining and complaining. I am
ready to lay aside old hurts and
defenses that I use to avoid
further disappointment. I
choose, rather, to bring every
circumstance and challenge to
You in prayer. I place my faith
not in that prayer, but in You as
the answer to the prayer. I
believe that Your name and Your
blood and Your Spirit are more
powerful than the obstacles I
face. I believe that Your
kingdom is supreme over all. I
want all You have for me.
Already these proclamations
seem too lofty for me. In my
weakness, You must be my
strength.
things can never be apart from My Spirit, for you have no strength of your own to make them
happen. I designed it that way. I want you to depend on Me and allow Me to accomplish any
work I set before you.
It is Me who calls you to realms that are beyond your abilities, your experience, and your
own righteousness. Sometimes I call you to an arena that you would never choose, but My
voice is constantly wooing you there despite your aversion to it. Do not set up defenses against
My voice calling to your heart. Do not fall into the snare of too much reason and analysis. I give
you common sense and wisdom to use in your life and My service but not as tools to use against
My voice. Do not resist My whisper to your heart because the task seems too large. I am the
God of the impossible, and I call you to a work of prayer, faith, and rest.
Dare to believe that I will move where there is stagnation. Dare to believe that I will redeem
what has been lost. Dare to believe that I can make the desert bloom and make the barren
fruitful. Dare to believe that I can replace sickness with health, hatred with love, bitterness with
mercy, oppression with freedom, and chaos with peace. I will do all this and more in answer to
prayer, prayer, and more prayer. Pray larger, deeper, and higher than you ever imagined, for I
fill all things and am moved by your petition.
So, are you indeed ready? Are you ready to pray for people and situations that you would
rather just went away? Are you ready for Me to wake you in the night to pray when you're not
even sure what to pray about? Are you ready to pray in the Spirit as well as with your mind that
I may pray through you in ways you don't always grasp? Are you ready for My preferences and
perspective to replace your own? Are you ready to call nothing impossible when given into My
charge by prayer? I am willing, My child, are you?
