Step it up. Seriously.

I find myself thanking God frequently for being with me even when I’m not with Him. And taking care of me even when He is way off my radar. It’s so not good. I’ve had some pretty serious wake up calls lately and spent a lot more time with God. It feels so good to be in that place-just spending time with Him-where time is not an issue nor my “to do” list. Putting God first and believing in Him and the amazing things He does in my life and the lives of my loved ones.

I recently attended a prayer night for someone who is so very dear to my heart who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. The night she shared this news with me I was broken. Maybe even beyond broken. And every day after that I could not get through a day without lots of tears. Until the prayer night came along. Standing beside thirty plus people that were pouring out their hearts to our amazing God. Begging for a miracle. I love that we can beg God for things and he is okay with that. I love that He sees our hearts and aches for us. I love that when we pray we can BELIEVE that He will provide. This is what stuck with me that prayer night and has kept my heartache from taking over my days. “I will PRAY for a miracle until You tell me not to.” And so that is what I do every day. I PRAY for my friend (among many other things) and just spend time with God, and it feels so good to be with God more. Stepping up my prayer life and growing closer to Him. So very comforting and peaceful to be with my Lord.
