"Walk by faith not by sight"
2 Corinthians 5:7
May 7th:
"The failure to persevere is the most common problem in prayer and intercession. We begin to pray for something, raising our petitions for a day, a week, or even a month, but then if we have not received a definite answer, we quickly give up and stop praying for it all together.
This is a mistake with deadly consequences and is simply a trap where we begin many things but never see them completed. It leads to ruin in every area of life. People who get into the habit of starting with out ever finishing form the habit of failure. And those who begin praying about something without ever praying it through to successful conclusion form the same habit in prayer. Giving up is admitting failure and defeat. Defeat then leads to discouragement and doubt in the power of prayer, and that is fatal to the success of a persons prayer life."- The Practice of Prayer; Streams in The Desert.
I've mentioned "The Storm" almost a year ago. You can read it here: The Storm
I've spoken of my marathon in Northern California: Worth It
I've elaborated on Gods faithfulness with getting me to Wyoming: Stretching Matters
...I could go on and on about Gods faithfulness in my life... The truth is that it can and WILL be even more rich than where my relationship was during these seasons of my life. I am seeking that out intentionally!
Prayer is not just simply asking for things. It is conversing with God. It is drawing closer to his mercies, his promises and seeking faith, not sight. It is allowing yourself to be embraced by him to be reminded of his promises for our lives and the lives of those we love.
I can't spend the rest of my life denying what God has done in my life. And I'm not saying that I am. But I want more in this relationship than simply an constant asking and receiving. I am desperately yearning for intimacy. I am longing for his desires to be my desires. To fall in love with my very first love.
I have discovered a while ago a love and passion for prophesying lyrical flow. This song is absolute truth. Listen and let it soak in deeply.

Second song on my heart this week is Steady Heart.
I'm thankful to feel such a pull to share them with you and pray thanksgiving over what God tells you through each of them.
