I have hope that what I pray for will come to pass! However, I admit there are times where I pray and I have a tugging in the back of my mind of doubt.
GOD proves to me over and over again that HE is near and HE DOES answer my prayers. I recently read "The way to get real-life results in prayer is to seek God with an attitude that says, “No matter how long it takes, or whatever I have to do, I will not be denied.” Prayer is about asking and then resting in GOD that it WILL happen. Asking while being skeptical is not all-believing. I have been let down many, many times by people I had trust in. We all have. My reaction was to build a wall of sorts; and a holding back of myself. I did this to protect myself. The deeper the wound the higher the wall. It occurred to me that I also have a bit of a wall with the LORD. The good news is that I have such a deep desire to rely on GOD that my wall is crumbling. So my prayers are going from "yeah right" to "YESSSSSS! I do believe I will receive!!!" FATHER, I come to YOU and ask that YOU remove my wall when it comes to my relationship to YOU. I do want a complete reliance, faith AND belief that YOU hold me, YOU provide for me and YOU will never, ever hurt me as the world does. Blind me to my past hurts when I come before you so that I can trust completely! I don't want to hold back any part of me FATHER. Fill me with YOU to overflowing LORD so that all my reactions come from my trust in YOU and not in my past hurts, hang-ups and habits. I love YOU LORD! I do trust but I want to trust more! Forgive me FATHER for those times when I do hold back. Instill in me complete trust in YOU with the mindset of a child who has not been scathed by the world. I ask for this in the name of JESUS who came to save me even from my own self .... Thank YOU LORD that I do trust that this prayer shall be answered because YOU tell me so! Amen ❤️

AuthorI am Deni, short for Denise. I grew up in a Jewish home, in a Jewish neighborhood and a Jewish family. In 3rd grade we moved. We moved to a mostly non-Jewish area.... that is where JESUS found me. I say found me because I yet had not acknowledged it, but would find out later.......by grace, HE HELD ME ALL ALONG, just a lil Jewish girl from Philly. |
