It’s New Year’s Eve. What is Positive Plan with Prayer #5? I need to seek more of God’s wisdom and know His will for my life. Is that a big order? Well, yes, it is… but I serve a great big God, so…
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. – Ephesians 5:17
Tonight I won’t be partying, but I will be praying. I want just as much of what God has for me as I can get. We spend time on those things that really matter to us. This is important in my life and is totally worth the time I take seeking and praying. God is never a disappointment. ❤
I’ve only had to throw a fleece once in my life – the day of my father’s funeral. God is faithful to answer our earnest pleas. He knows where we are coming from – more than friends or family do. He sees the obstacles and challenges we face – and he sees the frightened child inside us when on the outside we try to look brave and sure of ourselves.
I want to be the best friend and family member I can possibly be. I want more of God – more of His strength, courage and grace. I need it more than anything else I can think of. I need to know what to speak of and when to speak of it. I need to know when to zip my lip and stay silent as well. I need more of God’s Holy Spirit – His wisdom.
Dear God,
It is my prayer on this New Year’s Eve that Your will be abundantly clear in my life. You are not the author of confusion, but You make everything perfectly clear. My heart, mind and spirit are receptive to Your still, small voice. I’m listening and I’m waiting here alone in my prayer closet. Please bless me with more of You – Your love, strength, courage, grace, mercy and especially wisdom. Show me now what You want me to do in this new year. You tell us to be strong and courageous, but that all comes from You. Welcome to this new year, Lord. Please continue to walk with me and give me everything I need to be successful in this wonderful life You have given me.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
It’s Linda again, Lord! Everything from You is available for me – and I am ready to receive it! Let’s DO this! 🙂
