This
morning I woke up feeling a lot different, knowing that changing my game plan also
means changing my attitude towards things, I feel that I have a better and
fresher perspective on things.
Fresh is always needed……being stagnant just isn’t my scene!
My first question to Daddy this morning was, “So, what’s the next step?”
I know what needs to be done but how do we get there?
It’s so easy to say that you are doing something but then end up actually doing nothing not because you gave up because you just didn’t tap into the start of something great.
I am not saying that this season is going to allow me to never face situations like this in my future but my character needs to be molded and my spiritual growth needs to be fed. I probably will handle the next season a lot different than this one, why? Simple. Prayer.
Remember yesterday I shared on Proverbs 30:8? Well, when you ask Daddy to feed you with the food He knows is best for you, then, all I can say is open up and chew every single bite He gives you.
James 5:7-20 was my quiet time scripture this morning and steps towards changing my game plan.

A
few steps are found in this over-read book but I certainly didn’t find them
steps before. It was more encouraging
scriptures.
1) Waiting on the Lord
Patience and strengthening of our hearts. What exactly goes down in our waiting period? For me it’s keeping busy to not waste an opportunity.
2) Endurance through every season
It highlights Job’s situation and also Daddy’s character: He is VERY compassionate and merciful. Do I show endurance through my seasons? For me, it’s not always a yes.
3) Effective Prayer
Praying in faith, praying for one another, so that healing may happen (in every area of your life, not just being sick) and pray intensely!
Verse 16 highlights that the intense prayer of the righteous is very powerful, not just powerful but VERY.
I easily find myself waiting on Daddy but in the wrong way. Not edifying patience but impatience and not strengthening my heart but trying to be busy so that I feel I haven’t wasted a day or moment.
When last have I ever focused on the word “endure”? Not in a long time until this morning. What an amazing trait to tie with your journey, endurance.
This then took me down memory lane since I first became a Christian and I embraced myself with Daddy’s compassion and mercy in these last 15 years – it’s endless and He continues to be who He is! Amen.
My prayer life did take a back seat, I won’t lie. Yeah, I’d pray but intensely? No. And what about faith? Sure.
This fed my spirit as warfare is all around me and how I go about praying for it is a bit too relaxed, I won’t lie. I got to admit, this is almost like an energy drink for my spirit. I am pumped to give it another shot!
There’s just so much to share on His discipleship.

Yesterday
Daddy highlighted the importance of how to use my time and simply seeking His
provision in this area has just grounded me even more in His capability of knowing what’s needed for me in this very
moment.
As a newly married couple, I strongly encourage you to pray for one another, in faith, with intensity and allow Daddy to heal, restore, revive and renew.
I usually run between 2km – 5km a day and the one thing you need, especially when it’s been a tough day, is endurance. You know you almost done but you need to endure and keep the pace.
When you are competing as an athlete, you focus on the prize, the finish line.
Embrace to endure your situation and seek His good and pleasing will for your life.
Praying for the persecuted, it’s easy to let emotion and sympathy flood our minds and question Daddy on this harsh reality but the more I tap into it I know that my life isn’t my own anymore and neither is there’s. A life of edifying His love is what it’s all about and allowing His scriptures to come to pass, which is evident physically in this day and age and not just some myth in an old book.
I know where I am headed, I have no doubts…….this time on earth will pass but how I live this time on earth is the important part.
My game plan is being mapped out. All I need to do is equip myself and keep training.
Armor yourselves & continue to love…..
