Become Active, friend!
friend, what do you dream about? What are the desires that lie dormant deep inside you? Have you ever said them out loud?
There have been so many things in my life that I didn't think were possible and then they came true! And today I know why! Because I brought my desires, even the craziest ones, to God and then acted on them myself!
We may think that nothing happens when we pray. But certainly nothing happens if we don't pray.
When I wanted to study abroad, everything spoke against it. My wallet, the frustrating opinions of others: "But your place is here, what do you want in a foreign country?" and also all the complicated official procedures.
But I had told God that I would soooo love to go there and then I took action. The experience became a life-changing time for me! "...You do not have because you do not ask God." (James 4:2 NIV)
There are also those moments when I think, "Surely I can't ask God for anything more now. I'm actually doing fine on my own." Hey, honestly, do you really think God doesn't like to give you what your heart longs for?
“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Luke 11:9 NIV)
God is pleased when you are pleased! God laughs when you laugh! God joins in the celebration when you can't stop marveling at His goodness! That's what God is like! Your loving God!
friend, what has been on your heart for so long that is bigger than your faith? A dream? A worry? A diagnosis? Whatever it is, bring it before your loving Father in prayer now and activate the faith that honours God:
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." (Philippians 4:6 NIV)
Oh, this is going to be a good day! The beginning of something great!
You are a miracle!
