Lean on God...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Lord. Today was rough and it wasn't until tonight that I realized, I didn't really ask for your help. No wonder it was so hard! I can think of one moment where I asked for help with a specific situation, but that was it. 

How is it that I can forget? How can I forget to ask for your help? I know from many years of experience that you always help when I ask. I know you turn impossible situations into perfectly solved answers. I know this, but when it was hard today, I just wallowed in my anger and irritation instead of asking for your help.

Forgive me God. You have taught me so well and I simply got it all wrong today. I pray and ask for your help to do better tomorrow.

What God Said Tonight:

A day of struggle may not have been enjoyable but it reminded you of what life, your life, can be if you are not completely dependent on me. 

I tell you this not because I don't trust you and not because you do not have free will. I tell you this because you do have free will. You are free to choose any course at any time. 

I fervently hope you choose my path for you. I fervently hope you choose to lean on me. Not for my sake but for yours. 

I can best love you when you are leaning on me. I can best help you when you are leaning on me. And, I can best bless you when you are leaning on me. 

Come on over and lean on me tonight.
