This morning, a friend and I were praying together. When she prays, I am so inspired because she prays in earnest, pleading in intercession for the lives of others. Her prayers are filled with requests that I know are things in God's will...salvation, deliverance, freedom from the bonds of sin and Satan.
She prayed something today that really spoke to me. "Oh God, please take away my desire for cigarettes and REPLACE IT with more knowledge of Your Word," was her request. I was not only inspired by this prayer, but this woman taught me a new way to pray. I have never considered asking for a problem to be taken away and REPLACED with something of God! And I don't doubt that HE WILL DO IT. He is exceedingly able to do all things...especially those things that are according to His will, for His kingdom purpose and for His glory. Now, all she has to do is believe that it is done according to His will and receive it in faith!
Father, thank You for showing me a better way...Thank You for helping me see that when something is removed from my life or life circumstances that it needs to be replaced with something of You...In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Be blessed in Jesus' Name,
Angie
