Yearning for God Above ALL
Have decided and am excited to have a really good day today. š„ š š„
Because ... for the past few weeks, Iāve been distracted with a single issue. Praying and praying but it almost turned into impatient complaining. Not good and not who I want to be. Maybe these sorts of phases happen sometime but I think theyāre easier to overcome when we remember whose we are. We are so blessed to be Godās children! To enjoy his goodness in so many forms (prayer, worship, community, creating, etc.) To have really relationship with him. To have a plan to fulfil. To be able to partner with him and carry out his will. Godās will!
This morning I felt God ask me what Iām yearning for. The word āyearningā really stood out to me, that intense longing for something, as I guess that really was the perfect word to describe how I was feeling. And, after sharing my heart, I felt God impress on me the following, lovingly:
*Donāt you trust that I want these things for you? Donāt you realize that I am with you? Donāt waste time. Focus on the things I have given you in the present. Humbly present your requests to me but donāt whine. You are stronger than you know ... because my strength, my Holy Spirit is in you. Learn to utilise the fullness of my power. (Philippians 4:6, 1 Corinthians 3:16)
*Keep your eyes fixed on me and my Kingdom and trust me to provide the rest. I know you, my love. I made you, my love. Seek me more and allow me to reveal more. I canāt wait for more sweet time with you. (Genesis 1:27, Hebrews 12:2, Matthew 6:33)
*Even with ___________, I am the only thing that will ever satisfy the longings in your heart. Come to me now and let me satisfy you. Trust me to provide __________ when the time is right. Always, always keep your eyes fixed on me. And love me with all of your heart. (Psalm 37:4, Matthew 22:37)
So actively choosing to punch the devil in the eye (as my Joyce Meyer podcast reminded me this morning haha) by choosing to live in Godās peace no matter what I feel or see (I AM going to have a good day with God!). Iāve had enough of this weird wallowing state and refocusing my prayers.
