I have been rubbing elbows lately with some powerful people of prayer and as such, they have been showing me an entirely new way to pray. Yes, I know that there are many methods of prayer that have been presented and although, some people subscribe to certain formulas…I know that God just loves to hear from us – no matter how it sounds or what we say or what order we do it in. You can never go wrong with prayer. But, lately, I have been learning how much power can be achieved when a prayer includes praying through the situation.
I have to admit that it is difficult for me to pray this way for I have always been a ‘glass is half empty’ type of gal. So when one prays through a situation, you need to see through it with a positive result. For instance, last month I had horrible pain in my kidneys. I was scared that it was something serious, life threatening and didn’t see anything beyond that. However, when I was prayed over, the prayer warriors prayed through it…they praised God for the healing he gave me. And it worked. After a series of tests it was diagnosed as only kidney stones.
Right now I am in transition and as such, God has given me a wide palette of choice. We also are heading into a New Year which brings hope for a better 365 days. I’ve recently told a friend that I feel like I’ve just graduated high school and I’m entering college and I can choose to be anything that I want to be. It’s exciting, yet at the same time a bit frightening. But, I can be happy. This can be an easy process. My glass can be half full! And that’s what I am supposed to pray about…praising God for how he brought me through this transition. There is light at the end of the tunnel. There always is a new sunrise.
No Matter How Hard Things Appear - Raise Your Hands and Give Glory
I’ve just started to pray this way, so I’m toddling through this process, but it really helps me become more hopeful. It helps me see that Jesus sees things this way. He’s not bogged down by this moment for he is the only one who knows what is ahead and it’s all good.
being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Phil 1:6
So what are you currently praying about? Can you see its results? Are you praying through the situation? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this and how God is moving in your life. Let’s pray together for a New Year full of harvest and abundance in leading others to eternal life.
God Bless,
Cindy
First of all I have to say, I love this blog! Hearing what is “truly” in your heart and how God is working in you, teaches you, and teaches me. Prayer is our most powerful spiritual weapon we have. And we need to use it. And often. I cant wait to read more!
