So today I spent more time praying for myself than I did for others. I had a few people call and text me with prayer requests. But the large part of the day I spent praying for myself. I know that sounds weird or self absorbed or whatever. As I have been walking this journey the last few weeks, I becoming more aware of how much more I need Him. I need Him so desperately in my life. I need more of Him. I am so hungry and thirsty for everything that He has and in Him is all life.
The Father is taking me through a process of breaking me and changing me to be more like Him. I probably need more prayer than anyone at the moment! I am suddenly aware of how cold my heart has grown. As I begin to cry out to Him, He hears me and there is an incredible breaking in my heart, a changing. The ice is melting off and the flame of love is growing brighter. This is oddly appropriate being Valentine's Day and all, the day that we celebrate love. The one person that we need to express our love to the most is God. I can think of no better husband for humanity. He gave the one thing He loved the most so that we could have life and life more abundantly.
Father help Your flame to burn brighter in my heart than it ever has before. Take away all the darkness in my life that Your light may shine brightly for all men to see. Break me, change me, mold me in to the woman of God that You have called me to be. Let Your love flow through me freely. I thank You that You have opened my eyes to see how much I desperately need You and how much I love You. I thank You that You first loved me! Happy Valentine's Day God! Help me to live out Your hearts desire and show Your love to Your bride, humanity!
