Praying It Through

It's been a long, busy week filled with JOY along with some decision making. I am on a 30-day Prayer Vigil with the Lord as to a specific "decision" that I need to make. I wanted to be completely trusting in the LORD for His will (not mine) in this. I've never done this type of praying 'process' for something specific (not talking about it - just praying it through). Listening to the LORD is key - but He has been faithful in speaking - through His Word and through His Spirit. He also put a new CD [In Christ Alone] in my path with a song that has spoken volumes - about where my heart needs to be in this process.

Here are just a few of the words:

Speak, O Lord (by Keith Getty & Stuart Townend)

Speak, O Lord. as we come to You
To receive the food of Your Holy Word.

Teach us, Lord, full obedience,
Holy reverence, true humility;
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity.
Cause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority.
Words of power can never fail---
Let their truth prevail over unbelief.

Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;
Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us----
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity.

Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory.

I could not help but think of this scripture passage......

• Isaiah 6:1-3

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above Him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another:
"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of His glory." [emphasis mine]


Praising the Lord of Heaven and Earth - the Faithful One!
I long for that Day when we behold Him in all His GLORY!

Choosing JOY,
