This week's challenge: Last night at a prayer class a lady told me about an assignment that her sister did. She sat before God without a list to pray over or a list of things to ask for. She just tried to draw strength in his quietness and presence. If anything came to mind that needed to be confessed [new or old], she verbally confessed it. Then thanked God for taking it from her. Then returned to her quiet focus.
This morning, I went for walk for a little over an hour; listening to nature and passing cars and the sound of quiet. I completed the same assignment. The only other words I spoke were at the end. I asked God to fill [with his spirit and strength] each of those places that he had taken something from. To heal up those places so that nothing could come back in. To seal it up in his armor and his kiss.
I challenge you to find an hour outside this week and do the same. Then Check out the following scripture and pray it over yourself at the end! Thank him for his reconciliation of you.
Scripture for the week - The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. - Colossians 1:15-20
