Be brave enough to be real My #prayer for us today… “Father, I received some news the other day that really had me rocking and reeling. First, I will acknowledge that I CHOSE to rock and reel…. and I know better. When we let ourselves get too tired, not pouring enough belief building material into our minds, not spending enough time with you and not growing our skill set like we should, the result when we get some shocking news, is overwhelm. So, I chose to be overwhelmed. It took about a day to truly calm down. Lord, I’m coming to you this morning to thank you for showing me the ‘real’ issue behind what I was feeling and for giving me the willingness to admit it and the determination to press forward and do something about it. I have a very clear unction that my friend reading this goes through this too, Father. So I’m making it the focus of today’s prayer for them. Father, when I first got the news, I let my brain take off running with how everything was going to go downhill from here. I saw all the financial hopes and dreams I was certain would come to pass, slipping away. That isn’t even the case, so we need to realize that our knee-jerk reaction to things is too often blown out of proportion. Next, I thought to myself, “This isn’t about money at all, this is about me fearing that the news I received would result in not being able to serve all those you’ve shown me I would get to truly help and be directly connected to.” For a good while, I really thought that was it. I thought my fear was that I wouldn’t get to help the masses. But… after I ask you about it and really got honest with myself, I realized that the REAL fear was that the news would result in me not having the massive positive influence that I believe you have called me to have. My fear was that I was going to not get what ‘I’ wanted. I’ve gleaned 3 things through this, my God. One, our knee-jerk reaction to things isn’t real, our emotions blow consequences up in our minds that will never occur. Two, when we drill down, we find that what we really fear is different than what we thought it was. And three, if we’ll be brave enough to be real, to be honest…. you can show us a path to follow. Not only can healing occur, but we also then make it easy for you to show us how ‘YOU’ will help us achieve the dream. Let us be brave enough to be real and face our biggest fear… so you can show us it’s not something to fear at all. I love you Lord. Amen.
