My prayer:
All knowing God. So, I definitely was presented a new opportunity today like you said. My first reaction was to absolutely dismiss it and say, NO WAY! But then I remembered what you said last night.
Is this the opportunity you were talking about? It seems so unlikely. I don't see any possible way how this thing could be turned into a blessing. But maybe that is the point? Maybe that is exactly the kind of situation, one where I can't see it turning out well, where you can show up and show how you can turn EVERYTHING to my good.
Or, is this not what you were talking about. If I look at this opportunity logically, I would be crazy to do it. It would be a lot of work that would make very little difference in the world. At least that is what it looks like to me.
So God, what do I do? I need to hear you really clearly on this. If you want me to do it, fantastic, make it really clear to me so I know I am doing your will. I will do anything that you want me to. If this is not something you want me to do, if it is a distraction, show me that really clearly as well.
God you tell me when I lack wisdom to ask for it and you will give it to me. God, I ask for wisdom. Help me to know your will in this. I really need your help God. I don't know what to do.
What God Said Tonight:
I told you it wasn't going to be easy. I told you it would stretch you. I told you that you would think that it was not for you.
This thing is not what it seems. This is a test and a time for you to remember your roots. It is a time and an opportunity for you to serve for the sake of serving. To be my hands and feet for no purpose other than I am asking you to.
It will make more sense soon. You know what I want you to do. You are resisting because you don't want to do it but you know what I want you to do.
You have a choice. You always have a choice. You can choose to do only the things that I bring you that you like. You can choose to only obey my will when it is in line with yours. Or, you can be a fully devoted follower of me and do what I ask when I ask it. The difference is a life of goodness vs. a life of greatness.
You were made for greatness and I can tell you that you will never be happy with less than. I can tell you that you are on the brink. Do what want. Choose comfortable, safe and good. Or choose, dangerous, uncomfortable and great.
I love you no matter what. I will be with your forever no matter what. I will never leave you, no matter what. So do what you want, remembering the regret of "what if?"
Does God still speak to us? YES! These are conversations with God for more than the last 10 years

The History: A couple of years ago, I started journaling my prayers and God's responses to them. I told my friends about this, they were really interested. I told my Pastor about it and he said, how about sharing those on line. When I asked God, He said, my words are for you, but not just for you. And, here we are...I hope He speaks to you in these words.

(2 Samuel 22:32-34 NIV) For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God? {33} It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. {34} He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights.
