"GOD, I NEED YOU!"

I was in a prayer session with about 70 leaders from our local church this past Monday night. It was the most honest season of corporate honesty before God I remember being immersed in ever. One precious young lady, with deep cries from the depths of her desperate soul, prayed this four-word, heart-wrenching prayer to the top of her voice: "GOD, I NEED YOU! GOD, I NEED YOU!"

Her honest crying immediately gave way to our humble crying. It was indeed 2 Chronicles 7:14 illustrated. I have been echoing that prayer ever since and will surely echo it for many days to come:

"GOD, I NEED YOU! GOD, I NEED YOU!
In the Name of Jesus. Amen and Amen."

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a (one) righteous person has great power and wonderful results. -- James 5:16 (NLT)

IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14.
Grateful

Be Honest. Be Humbled. Be Healed.

Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves... -- 2 Chronicles 7:14a (NLT)

Humility is the consequence of honesty. If we will get honest before God, humility will immediately follow. Let's get honest with God. Let's humble ourselves in His Holy Presence.

IF MY PEOPLE... WILL (HUMBLE THEMSELVES)?
I WILL (HEAL THEM... THEIR LAND)!
God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

Sometimes "Me" Just Sits and Thinks

Can I be honest? Today has been one of those days when basically it would be accurate to say that I personally lived out a "seemingly silly" slogan I recently read on a t-shirt:

Sometimes "me" just sits and thinks.
And sometimes "me" just sits.

I have also learned that sometimes what appears to be "wasting time" is not "wasted time".

IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.
