Day Seven - The Big Question

The moment we open ourselves up to God’s plans is the moment miracles begin to happen in our lives.

The Big Question:  “God what do you thing I should do?”  This is the question I need to ask throughout each day.  A daily habit of prayer is a MUST to grow spiritually. And spiritual growth will transform my life.

What do I need to do to establish my daily habit of prayer?  Can I make a prayer chamber, so to speak?  A certain place devoted to just God and my daily prayer…completely free of distractions.  I think this might be my first step in really getting into the habit of daily prayer.  When I get up in the morning, I hit the ground running.  But what if I got up in the morning, went to my special place and began the prayer process?  What if I did that for ten minutes each day?  How much would my life transform?

How has prayer impacted my life?  Prayer and God’s faithful love got me through the darkest hours of my life.  When the time came to admit that my marriage had failed, that it was making me spiritually unhealthy, that I had done everything possible to save it, myself and my husband, I let God’s will be done.  It was hard because I never thought God would encourage a divorce, so it took me a long time to listen.  For years, I had what I refer to as premonitions.  I had visions of something happening in my marriage, long before I even began to understand what a bad place I was in.  Looking back, that too was God.  The more I prayed to save my marriage, heal my broken heart, bring my husband into a relationship with God, the more I learned about the true evil that was attached to my husband.  I prayed for him to be set free of the demons destroying him, but he clung to those demons as much as they were clinging to him.  God told me it was okay to let go.  I still pray for him every day.  Because prayer is powerful.

Focus:

Prayer changes everything, and nothing ever really changes until we give daily prayer a place in our lives.

Act:

Ask God for his advice.  Take 10 minutes sometime today to sit with him in silence.  Present to him the biggest question I am struggling with at this time in my life and ask, “God, what do you think I should do?”

Pray:

God, what do you think I should do?


Amen.
