I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and I hope you're ready for an amazing new week!
Today, I'm coming to encourage you all regarding the power of PRAYER
This morning, I woke up in a wonderful mood! In church yesterday, my pastor, started a new sermon series entitled "Prayer, Fasting, & Consecration" and I gained SO much and woke up ready to apply everything that I learned. I turned my commute to the train station into a prayer walk and my train ride into a time to reflect and ask God to change me in any way He see's fit. I got to work feeling energized, happy, excited, and then...I get a phone call.
The phone call disturbed me SO much and I was SO ready to be miserable and angry, when I remembered that I'm making an effort to consecrate myself this week. I had to remind myself that I have to produce the fruit of the spirit in all that I do and I immediately stopped working and said a prayer asking God to help me to exhibit love, peace, and joy even in the midst of bad news or news that may hit one of my nerves (yall know how that is! lol). I had to ask Him to help me to not allow things to get to me so quickly and to not allow my emotions to take control over me and cause it to mess up my day and/or my mindset. I prayed this simple prayer with faith, and as soon as I was done, it was as if a weight had been lifted.
Many people walk around with burdens, baggage, and in emotional turmoil - however large or small - and forget that, as children of God, THAT IS NOT OUR PORTION! We are ENTITLED to FREEDOM and we need to claim it and live like it!
So yes, I just want to encourage all of you to never neglect the power of prayer and direct communication with God. He wants to hear from us and He wants to help us, so open up your heart and release anything you may be going through, over to Him and watch how your day will completely shift for the better!
I hope this was a blessing to you all! =)
