Open Hand - A Prayer Request
When I woke up this morning, I thought it would be a pretty normal day . . . sure there are unexpected phone calls and meetings. Some days have more aberrations than others. I had no idea God was going to reveal His plan for New Life Ministries to move to a new location by the end of the year. As I write, I am doing my best to sound confident, but deep inside I have a pit in my stomach. I am fighting the urge to dwell on fleshly and selfish thoughts. Honestly, it has been a long time since I have had to do this, but I am fighting tears and I don’t know why.
Last year we watched God move by nullifying sales contracts and opening up the opportunity for us to begin our church services in the Scarritt building for the cost of $1. If you haven’t read about it you can see the journey here. We have watched God do amazing things from providing for ALL of our needs, to changing lives on a daily basis, to bringing just the right people at the right time. I am still in a struggle for faith. In my head, I know God is in control and has His best interests in mind, in my feelings I am struggling with doubt.
Enough about me . . . you are reading this because you are a part of the New Life family, and we need to unite together in prayer for God to continue to reveal Himself in miraculous ways.
This morning, in my devotions I read the following verses from Isaiah 8:11-13 “For the LORD spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: 'Do not call conspiracy all that this people callsconspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. But the LORD of hosts, him you shall regard as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.' ”
These verses are a timely reminder to worry only about pleasing the Lord and doing what He has called us to do on a daily basis. As far as I know, all we can do is expect a miracle.
