This study has met me right where I needed it right now. Especially this week in Chapter 3 talking about Praying So That! I am learning more about prayer and how to pray. What has been important to me is that I have been convicted to pray for someone who has hurt me. I am wearing a bracelet on my arm where my watch usually is to remind me. so, every time I look on my wrist to see what time it is, instead I'm reminded to pray for my "ONE". There have been times that it has been difficult to pray for that person because the hurt is still fresh, but I've been amazed at the power of prayer and how it releases me from the anger, bitterness and even the hurt. Instead of focusing on myself, I'm focusing on praying over her and whatever is causing the hurt for her. It has also kept me in a state of prayer, praying ceaselessly throughout the day. I know that God has me exactly where he wants me & I want to bask in His presence! I can only do that through spending time with Him more & being in constant communication with Him.
LOVE this, Kelly! I love seeing how God is transforming your heart through this trail and am praising Him for that! Love you, friend!
ReplyDeleteKelly, I know how difficult it can be to pray for someone who has hurt you. Instead of blowing God off, you are saying yes to Him in this matter and because of that He will stretch and strengthen you and your faith! <3
