I have been praying about a certain situation in my life for quite awhile now, but lately, the past several years, it has seemed more urgent and my patience is waning. For the past few months I have added to my prayer, "Whatever it takes, God. That scares me like no other, but I think that is what you are asking me to pray. So, even though I know the consequences might not be what I want or expect, whatever it takes."
Don't ever pray that prayer unless you mean it and are willing to go full out and trust in God's plan completely. I have been completely blown off my mooring more than once since I have been praying that prayer. God has allowed me to discern that I am in the battle of my life and the enemy of my soul wants nothing more than for me to say "Uncle". But I am hanging on because I know that God sees the big picture. I know that this battle involves a lot more than my soul and I know that no matter what the devil throws at me, my God will prevail.
God will not harm me. Jeremiah 29:11
Even though this prayer has turned my life upside down, I am committed to keep praying it until I see results. Whatever it takes, God, whatever it takes. Thank you for helping me grow in you. Thank you for driving me to my knees and allowing me to lean more fully into your mercy and grace.
