I have been reading in Genesis the last few days, and it has made me focus on prayer. In the beginning there was nothing. There was a void but as soon as God spoke light came into being. Just as any idea we have starts out as nothing and becomes something as we create it with our words.

 

God was very specific in his words. When he made the waters he said, "Let there be space in between the waters to separate them." Then it was so -just as our desires and ideas placed in God's hands should be specific. If there needs to be a change in our thinking God will do it but otherwise I think he gives us latitude to create on our own for we are made in his image. So often people tell me that I am not logical about some things but I believe that if it is not wrong it is okay for me to pray what ever I think is best, and God will redirect me as needed.

 

All this to say, I am praying for the Coloma Place to sell this week. I know there is the perfect family to come in and buy this home. God set up prayer to be a part of his plan so I think it is silly and lack of faith to always say, "if it is God's will." This does not mean I don't want God's will or that I don't know that his thoughts our higher than my thoughts but he uses us somehow by having us pray so I am going to do the job He has assigned me.

 

Enjoy the week. Thanks for caring.
