Mt Healthy Prayer Meeting

Yesterday was the prayer meeting in Mt Healthy. Five people came, and I felt like it was really good. I am not sure that I heard anything from God, but I am not sure that I didn't either. It was just good to get people together and be open about the fact that we don't know what to do. We need a BIG God to come and save us.

I have been saying for a while that we need to start praying the impossible prayer. I think prayers that are big and seem impossible under the currents circumstances are honoring to God. God likes to reveal His power through big things I think. The way I think God likes to do things is doing them in a way no group of people could have done it. He does things like feed 5000 people with 2 fish and 5 loaves or destroy an army with 300 soldiers. God is the master of the impossible. So we (Leah and I and other people concerned with YL in Mt Healthy) have to keep praying and wait.

I really think it is a time when we need to be most focused on listening. God has perfect timing and when we are supposed to know what He is doing, we will KNOW. Until then we have to be faithful in the things we know are right, and that includes patience. For now I am trying to root out all of my pride in this and turn that over to God. Whatever happens I want it to be all about God and none about me. I realize now more than ever that none of this is about me and what I am doing anyway, but about God and what He is doing.

There is a popular song right now that says "Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord." I believe that to be true. As we wait for something to happen we are constantly being grown in our faith. For as little as I think I hear God I am sure of one thing, God wants us to find our comfort in knowing Him. His desire is for our lives to be focused on Him and nothing else.
