Have Your Way

Within the past week God has revealed to me that I have been stuck in a prison of comparison.  In one instance, I had just finished praying for a numerous amount of people and was feeling so connected to God.  I have learned that the enemy strikes and feeds me lies when I am beginning to trust more and more in God.  As everyone else on the team started telling about their experiences, I immediately got down on myself with thoughts of not being adequate enough to be used by God.  As I snapped out of it I realized that God DID use me and teach me something, just in a different way.  So many thoughts of doubt is exactly what the enemy wants.  I want to break from that prison and be confident that God uses me in mighty ways.  I may not see it at the time and it may even be days later when I recognize what He was teaching me, but God is ALWAYS working in me!  I am longing to grow in knowing that I have authority to do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength.

I have received many prophesies and the Lord has also convicted me that I need to sit still and quietly before Him and listen.  This excites me because I have been asking and wanting to grow in this for so long but I just did not know how.  Slowly God has been teaching me and slowly I am understanding how to meet and listen to Him.  The song “Have Your Way” by Britt Nicole touched me as I began to ponder on all of these new things.  It talks about how we may not understand or be aware of what God is doing in our lives but that His way is always enough.  The chorus says, “I’ll stop searching for the answers, I’ll stop praying for an escape, and I’ll trust you God with where I am and believe that you will have your way.”  Over and over God keeps showing me new and exciting things that convince me of His love towards me.  I want to be so engulfed in His love that even the thought of questioning His glory makes me shutter in fear.  Lord give me more of you so that I may worship you with all of my life!
