Believe What You Pray For
This week has been busy, especially with two trips to Columbus for doctors’ appointments. But I still wanted to share something with my readers this week. This blog post is short and sweet, but I feel like it’s for someone, just like it’s been for me this week. I always wonder what God will give me to write about. Honestly, He has used this blog as a way for me to process and release things I’ve experienced on this journey of climbing my mountains.
It’s been so freeing.
On Monday, my friend, Fayth Lore, posted a quote that said, “What if…everything you are going through is preparing you for what you asked for.” This quote totally resonated with my heart, stirring my soul with expectancy and anticipation. I’ve been told God has a plan for me and I know I need to trust in God’s timing, but this inspirational saying is exactly what I needed to hear at this time of my life.
You see, I have been and I am currently praying for some pretty big things right now. I’ve wondered how God would bring these desires of my heart to pass, but the saying Fayth posted was so timely for me. It was as if God whispered into my heart that even though I don’t understand all that I’ve been through or why I’m where I’m at in certain areas of my life, these seasons of life are actually preparing me for what I’ve asked God to bring to pass.
I’ve already begun to see this statement is true and it’s only been three days since Fayth shared this post. But you know how God is. He rarely just gives you a word or a promise without backing it up with a confirmation and He did that for me today. My friend, Danielle Hannah texted me a quote that said, “Believe in What You Pray For.” I just knew God was giving me permission to believe in these "big exceeding abundantly above," prayers I’m praying about.
So, I just want to encourage anyone reading these words to look at the season of life you’re in differently because what if you’re going through them because they are preparing you for what you’re praying for? Believe in the prayers you’re praying. Expect them to come to pass. Who knows maybe this time next week you’ll have what you have been praying for.
