I prayed hard last night. I am reading a book called The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson and it is having quiet an impact on the way I pray and look at prayer. Last night I was reading about praying "through." Praying when it seems like my prayers have not been answered, to continue to treat God like God and not my genie who let me down. To understand that He wants to bless me and feed me, even when I don't know how or why He is doing it.
Last night I knelt down on the bed, like a little kid, and started to pray but felt like I should just shut up, just stop and listen...be quiet, listen for the voice. Be calm, let go, no worry...Not sure how long I stayed that way but I ended up laying my head face down on the bed and wa struck really strong with the "PREPARE." I was jerked up, awake, back to whatever...don't know if I feel alseep, if it was 10 seconds or 2 minutes, but I was filled with that one word.
Prepare for what? Do I worry about it? Be ready...it is time...let's do this...no more puting it off...prepare!
On a funny note; I went to the AT&T store today to ask about my iPhone and cell coverage. It is $4.99 a minute from Tanzania, with an additional plan and data use is off the charts. Then there is no assurane I can even get a signal. The guys looks at me and says, "if they don't even have food to eat or clean water, you're iphone is probably not going to be any good." Well said AT&T guy...
Does Waryoba know you're coming?
