It was 3:40a this morning that God woke me and wanted to talk. I have come to realize certain things about private prayer. Nothing is more important than to learn how to get oneself into that frame and condition to pray. Sometimes you can start yourself off by reading something that will warm the spirit…sometimes God starts us off when the Spirit is ready. Either way, we enter a time of worship in the presence of the Almighty. This morning I woke wondering why and soon found myself toiling over my “Most Wanted List.” I have used it for a couple of days now, and thought it was serving me well. However this morning when I saw the devotional sitting on the coffee table I knew that was why God had stirred my soul. In a time of fervent prayer for my list I found that the morning had slipped by and I was ready to begin my morning routine…prayed up and on time. God does work in mysterious and wonderful ways! I am not sure just yet what God will do this Lent, but I am convinced now more than ever that the Spirit wants to work in the hearts of many, many folks and he has chosen this church, or at least many of us, to be his instruments. Please diligently use your devotional, seek God’s will for your Most Wanted List, and surrender to the leading of the Spirit…God will do the rest.
