I'm not sure what I think about "praying" on the internet. Does God read my status? He doesn't have to! He knows my thoughts before I even have them, so I know He doesn't need to see me post them. However, my friends and family can't know my thoughts. You can't know what God is doing in my heart unless I speak them or post them.
Lately, I have been experiencing God's presence very palpably in my quiet time with Him. Today as I begged Him, again, to change some difficult circumstances in my life, He directed me to a portion of His word that helped me regain my perspective. I know a lot of my friends are struggling right now, so I want to share this section of Scripture with you, reworded in the form of a prayer. I hope it helps you as much as it has me.
Father,
I pray that from Your glorious, unlimited resources You will empower me with inner strength through your spirit.
Then, you will make your home in my heart as I trust in you.
My roots will grow down deep in Your love, and I may have the power to understand, as all Your people should, how wide, how long, how high and how deep Your love is.
May I experience your love, though it is too great to understand fully?
Then I will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from You.
Amen.
