In my infant understanding: A Prayer

Psalm 40:8

“I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”


Prophecy:

I prophesy I will always delight to do Your will; Your law is within my heart.


Thoughts

A couple of hours ago, I was not pleased with the pain You permit on my path. I felt angry, and my soul rejected understanding. What is it I have done to deserve this amount of hurt, to miss out on Your grace, but to be a witness of health accessible to others? I asked myself. I’ve seen You heal; physically, I’ve been in the rooms when You did it. Why is my case seemingly difficult? “What step am I missing?” I’ve continued to ask.


Prayer:

Enable me to find peace, to honor Your will even when it breaks and confuses me, for I’ve known You to be great. I’ve known You to give Your heart to Your people. I pray I accept Your will in the absence of reasoning, just as You gave Your heart in the absence of reasons other than one: that is, because You have loved.


In my infant understanding:  

Love is protective. I’ve felt You protect my spirit, and I need You to know that I know You got me, real good. My spirit and my soul perceive Your love well for me. A million words will never be enough to express my feelings of gratitude. And so, I rely on the Holy Spirit to translate in depth my heartfelt gratitude to You, Father, as words fail to express what I understand about Your love specifically for me. Amen!

Blessed to bless: Service is the call

I am happy to see the heart of God in partnering with me to bless others. While this is my call to answer, I am careful not to be overly excited but to remain level-headed, as I understand the cost of being chosen to work for the Lord. Walking with Him in itself can be daunting; it’s a great responsibility that involves exposing my heart, forcing me to accept where I am wrong and engage in doing the job to unlearn and learn. Service comes with sacrifice at the same time it is deeply fulfilling and the very reason for our existence. A call, I explain as a thing that describe me yet feels foreign. It’s both familiar and new. The beginning is exhilarating, as it resembles pursuing a passion that feels more like a hobby. However, I recognize that there have been times I fought against the will of God because it was taxing to be in the place He called me to remain, doing the work and interacting with challenging individuals. I have celebrated at the revelation that my struggle is meant to e...

The Responsibility to Remember

This blog is inspired by a sermon titled “ Who Is God Calling You to Be ” by Sarah Jakes Robertś. In the journey of faith, we often encounter challenges that test our resolve and beliefs. However, we have power to war. When faced with adversity, it’s vital to put our knowledge of Scripture to work and crash the head of the serpent. The Bible reminds us of the enmity between us and the serpent, as stated in Genesis 3:15 (NIV) “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” This powerful verse serves as a battle cry, urging us to fight back against depression, anxiety, fear, life’s challenges and the lies that tell us we are not good enough or that our dreams are too big to attain. When challenges arise, we must go back to the feet of Jesus. There, we can pick His brain and meditate on what He tells us. It’s essential to internalize these teachings and repeat them to ourselves. When the enemy r...
