The same is true today. Once you have blessing, God wants to use you to make a difference. As a conduit of His power and resources, you have the ability to advance God’s kingdom and impact lives for eternity. People who pray the prayer of influence are the happiest people I know because they have something bigger to live for than eliminating their personal pain. Rather than focus on what they have or don’t have in their lives, they concentrate on fulfilling the purpose God has for them to carry out.
