I was talking to my VSW (that’s Very Special Woman for those of you may be new) about prayer yesterday.  I don’t think I have met anyone who fully understands it.  I struggle at various times with wondering if what I am praying about is what God wants to hear.  I also struggle with asking God for wisdom and revelation and still feeling ignorant and blind.  Today, I got an email from a friend that had a message from a famous preacher on TV these days.  While I don’t always agree with the famous preachers theology, I also do not believe I have a corner on understanding the ways of God.  So, I read and listen and seek things that apply to what I know or what I want to know better.  Anyway, the email included this prayer…

Father, thank You for placing dreams and desires in my heart. I trust that You are at work to bring them to pass even when I can’t see it, even when it’s taking longer than I thought. I know that You are faithful, and I trust You completely in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Now, I’m in a place in my life where I am wondering what the next step for me should be.  Stay?  Go?  Pursue the dreams of my heart?  Or is it too late for that?  Or is it just the right time?  I’m asking all those questions and get this prayer in an email today.  Hmm.

In a few minutes I will have some windshield time.  I need to make a couple of phone calls but will also do some praying…and hopefully some listening.  Today could be a big day.  I have a meeting that could be big in the next step of where I am headed.  Or, it could just be a little more gasoline burned in the pursuit of something I don’t see or understand completely.

Whatever.  I don’t really know what I am doing but I keep doing the things I know or think I should be doing.  God knows the desires of my heart right now.  Are they in line with his desires for me?  I guess that is what I am trying to figure out.  Or here from him.  I hope today I will get some wisdom and revelation.  And peace.

Grace and peace.
