#PrayerDare

I wanted to share something exciting that I recently found. 

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon a {new to me} blog called A Royal Daughter. 

I was checking out some of her tutorials for technical bloggy stuff & had some questions. She was so quick to respond & help me out. She was awesome!

I was so appreciative, so I spent some more time just exploring her blog.

I enjoyed reading about her & "getting to know" her a little better.

Then I saw this button on the sidebar that really grabbed my attention.

Lately, I've been realizing how poor my prayer life has been.
I know the awesome power of prayer & so I thought this might be a great thing to help kick start an awesome prayer life.

Each month Amanda will provide a topic, along with prayer cards that you can print from her blog.
This month we are praying for our husbands.
I love the idea of a community of women being drawn together to get on our knees and see how God moves!

Won't you consider joining in?
It's never too late to approach the throne!

 

i could

have you ever been afraid to pray for something because you know God could use that prayer to cause major waves in your current calm?
i'm in a place like that right now.

i just finished a study on Philippians with She Reads Truth which was phenomenal!!
i've read through this book before, heard sermons on it, but this was like reading it with brand new eyes.
{something i've been praying for for a long time}
paul was just an amazing man.
that's it.
that's all there is to it.
amazing.

how many people do you know that could write a letter from jail to encourage & love on people for the sake of Christ?

there was one verse that stuck out to me:
"...for I have learned to be content, whatever the circumstances."
{Phil. 4:11}

after reading this, i thought, Lord, i want this to be my prayer.
but then i retracted that statement.
i was afraid!
what would this mean?
how would God shake up our world to make this be a true statement?
what will i have to sacrifice?
i don't know if i'm ready to be shaken.

then today i came across this song:

i could just sit where i am.
i could just play it safe.
i could allow fear to dictate my next move.
i could miss out though.
i could miss what wonderful things God has in store for me.
i could miss out on a transformation that draws me closer to Him & who He wants me to be.

but what i long for is to go higher and to go deeper.
i long to go where He leads me.
for His mercy light my path.
