Do you know how to wait in God’s presence for His life and promises to renew you? In the last couple of prayer meditation events, I started the group in a prayer exercise to consider if a lot of their energy is striving for something. In prayer, with God’s help we considered the question of a young man who asked Jesus, “What good thing must I do to get eternal life?” The key words were, “What GOOD THING must I DO to GET?” (Repeat that phrase to yourself and ask God to show you, how often you tackle each day this way.). Very often when I pray for someone or counsel them in prayer, God clearly reveals they are striving in some way that is draining them. They are operating on human power, attempting in a variety of ways to figure things out, and DO it the “right” way to get what they want. It often fails. It leads to anxiety, worry, crippling fear, exhaustion, bitterness, etc. However, it doesn’t have to be this way. God wants us to practice stilling ourselves in His presence and inviting Him into our burdens. We receive from Him more when we still ourselves before Him; and therefore striving as a way of life diminishes. If you want to practice this, starting in the 3rd week of November, we will hold an interactive prayer session to lead you in short prayer exercise sessions. Stay tuned for more detail!
