I Surrender

I was mad.

I was spit fire mad.

Someone spewed out unkindness publicly.  The foolish words pierced like swords.

I wanted to take those words and hurl them right back with a twist.   I needed a righteous comeback.  (Is there such thing as a righteous comeback?)

The correct words did not come, so I decided to Google my response.  I can’t remember what I typed into the search box exactly, but I do remember that the Lord stopped me right in my tracks.

On my screen appeared the words I needed to hear.  It was a prayer actually.  A “Pray Big” kind of prayer that only broken people with empty hands are brave enough to utter.

Lord, have Your way in me. 

I am getting weepy as I type this.

Lord, have Your way in me. 

Want God to move mountains in your life this year?  This is where we begin.

I surrender.

This year, my desire is to lift up holy hands and “Pray Big.”   Want to join me?  I’ve created a private “Pray Big” Facebook group for like-minded sisters to share their stories and surrender each one to our mountain-moving God in prayer.  Let’s cry out to God together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am sharing “I Surrender” and joining like-minded sisters at The Weekend Brew, Spiritual Sundays, Faith-Filled Friday, Thriving Thursday, Tell His Story, Coffee for Your Heart,  The Soli Deo Sisterhood, Testimony Tuesday, Purposeful Faith’s RaRaLinkup, Rich-Faith Rising, Sharing His Beauty, Playdates with God, and Unforced Rhythms.
