I sit here tonight and I am passionately praying. I cannot express the turmoil I feel in my heart and I do not know exactly what I’m praying for. I am passionately asking God for help because he knows exactly why I am praying. When I think about the praying I do not find myself praying passionately. Passion is a strong barely controllable emotion which is what am experiencing right now. I may be doing things like writing this blog post, listening to music, or reading a book later but my mind in not dwelling in these activities. My soul is crying out to God for help! I know God is faithful and will answer my prayer in His perfect way. What an awesome form of worship this is! I have many times taken prayer too lightly but not right now.
Lord, You know my heart right now and I ask for your help and intervention in this time. I know you are Holy and Just Lord and I ask for peace. You are more than able to accomplish this and I thank You now for that.
It is too easy for me to just brush off this time where I am moved to pray but how can I not pray when deep in my heart I know people need God’s help. It reminds me of times when I am driving and I see a Flight for Life helicopter flying overhead. I always get choked up and I start praying for wisdom for the crew, doctors, nurses, and the patient. I thank God that my heart has become tender and open to these situations and I pray that I may continue to draw closer to God.
