FOMO

God, whether I am pleasantly surprised, or bitterly dismayed. What is it to me? More Importantly, what Is it to You? God, I Have You; and More Importantly, You, me. So then what despair? What joy? You Are Joy. What am I getting in on? Or missing out on? Nothing that Compares to You.

Faithfulness

God, I say You Are Enough; yet I wonder how I will be enough. I wonder, how will I make do? God, won’t You Be Enough for this wretched soul? Trust in You, I will never have enough of; so God Be Enough, otherwise nothing can Be Enough.

The Best:

If God is Withholding from Answering our Prayers, it is because He Will not Give us second best but the Best. We ought to Trust in God’s Omniscience and Goodness, and Trust that God Gives from His Goodness, in His Omniscience.

Prayer:

God, Let me Trust in Your Goodness. Let me Trust that You Allow for nothing but the Best for me. God Let me See that there Is nothing Better than You.

The Hope:

God Take all my hope, that You might Be my Hope.

God, there is and will be many things I take for granted in this life, Let it Be that You are not One of them.

Road Markers:

God, I have tried the easy road, and was met with dismay. I have tried the hard road, and was met with despair. God, I am Learning all roads bring joy, suffering, and pain, so such things are not Good Markers of Your Road. God, Let Me See You, Reveal to me Your Way. In my joy, in my sorrow, in my dismay, in my despair, Let Me Be Full by The Knowing I am On Your Road.

Kingdoms:

God, what is it for me to have the kingdom of my dreams, at the expense of Losing Access to Your Eternal Kingdom?

Let my kingdom never be, if that is the Cost. Otherwise, let my kingdom Prosper and be one that Serves Your Purpose.

Ready , set…?

God Gives to you not as you think you are ready, but as He Knows you Are.

Prayer:

God You Give Good, just to Take it away. I ask why? Why tantalize me? God Let me Know that You not only Give In Your Goodness, but also Take In Your Goodness. Let my Hope lie not in what You Give or Take, but You Alone.

Sustenance

God, though You Have Poured Many Blessings into my life, my selfish heart has taken Them all for granted. I treat Your Gold as dirt, and the sterile soil of the world as Gold. Then I wonder how I am so Poor. Instead of Cultivating what You Entrust to me by Your Love, I tend to It by my hands of destruction born from my sin and selfishness. God, my Soul is Barren, my Heart is Barren, and the Ashes of my Destruction is my daily Meal. God, won’t You Change this Sinful Heart and Soul, that They May Produce Eternal Fruit? How I’ve long grown tired of having Ashes as my Sustenance. God Your Will Be Done, that my Spirit Be Satisfied In Your Glory.

Blessings and Praise:

Those who praise God for blessings, Do not Know God. Those who wait for God’s Blessings or Deliverance from circumstances before Praising Him, have Missed The Greatest Blessing God Predestined For us -Jesus. This is Imperative to Know not just for the non-Christian, but perhaps even more so for the Christian.

What do you long for? What do you seek? What are you living for? What are you dying for? Why wait to Thank God? Why wait to Praise Him? Why wait to Joyfully Rejoice In His Name? How do you say you Have Jesus, then say you lack anything? How do you say your heart lacks for anything, when God’s Love -Which only Eternity can Hold- Is In Your Heart? If Infinite Love Fills your Heart, then what emptiness?

This is not to say that we ought not Lift our troubles up to God, or not ask God for Provision for our needs and desires. God Loves us, and Loves to Be Provider in our life. Yet, what is more important? The things of this world, or God Himself? If the Salvation we Have in Jesus takes second place to anything, then we have yet to Fully Realize or Experience God’s Love for us. For the Christian, there is no Greater Blessing than God’s Love for us Completed In Jesus. To miss this, is to miss the Greatest Blessing.

Prayer:

God, whatever may be missing in my life, let it not be Your Love. God, whenever I feel lack for something, Let me Find Abundance in Your Love. God, Let me never appreciate what is given, more than The Giver.

Immanuel

Inspiration:

“I Will Bring you through the Impossible. I Will Walk With you and See you through mountains so high, and valleys so low, that you Will Know I Am The One that Brings you through it all. Then, you Will Know I Am With you Beyond any doubt. Then, you Will Be Able to Reach out and Touch Me, as I you. Truly, as It Is Surely, We Will Be Together.”

Prayer:

God, You not only Have Suffered For me, but Suffer With me. Whatever I suffer, You Suffer Doubly for my Sake. First For my Salvation, then Again For my Sanctification. You Don’t Save and Forget, but Suffer On With me Until I Am With You. God, If this doesn’t Turn my Heart, then what Can?
