Be brave...

My prayer:

Miracle working God. I don't think I will ever stop being amazed at you and how you work everything out. Thank you for the new perspective tonight. Those things that I was seeing as failures and disappointments are really nothing more than preparation for what you are going to do next. 

Now, I have heard hundreds of sermons with that theme but there is a real difference between hearing it and living it. 

I pray for your guidance and help to let go of any lingering bitterness and disappointment. God, I declare right now that I will refuse to let disappointment hold me back from the future you have for me. I refuse to allow anything to get between me and your best for me. I am all yours and I want all that you have for me. 

What God Said Tonight:

There is more that I have to teach you my daughter. There is more that I have to show you. You have taken a step tonight and it is good but there is more. 

I have waited for the right time and the time is now. You are about to be released into a future and a hope that you have not yet imagined. I will not let you be hurt, I will protect you but you will have to be courageous. You will have to be wiling to risk failure. You will have to be willing to step out when you don't see the ground in front of you. 

I know I am asking a lot. I would not ask it if I did not need it from you to go where we need to go. I have called you for a purpose and a plan and this is it. 

There are many tomorrows that we will walk together and there are many challenges but the first step forward can only occur when you let go of yesterday. Your past is your preparation and is your base. It should propel you into your future, not hold you back. If it is holding you back, you are holding onto it. 

Let go of the things in the past and reach forward for what I have for you. You will not be disappointed. It is better than what you have today and it is better than what you have imagined. Be brave and step out with me.
