Prayer:
God today I say thank you! Thank you for being a promise keeper, thank you for making a way even when I couldn’t see the way. God I pray as I dive into this journey that you lead me closer to your promise. In the mighty name of Jesus, Lord I pray you have your way in my life for the next three days and show me just how good it can get! Father God reveal to me the favor you’ve placed on my life, allow my desires to align with your will and encourage a newness that can prepare me to leave behind what is no longer serving me. Father God grant me the wisdom and strength to believe in the impossible. God I am certain that you will grant me the breakthrough to my Ephesians 3:20 season in the mighty name of Jesus! I am trusting you to do a new thing and revive my mind! Place your hand on my life and lead me in the way in which I should go. This I pray in your name, Amen.
Moving in Faith
It’s crazy for me to admit I am in a uncomfortable position. For the first time in a long time, I am unemployed. What do you do, when what you believed has not come to pass? I received confirmation I was hired. It encouraged me to move here and trust in Gods timing. Now I am here. Acknowledging that obedience breeds Gods goodness. Though it’s not expedited on account of what you do in efforts to receive.
I’m asking myself why didn’t I just have the faith to do it right the first time. Trying to do things my way made me have to actually sit in the space for God to work things out. He was able to see I was relying on my perfect plan instead of His own.
Hoping That God Will Provide
As soon as I got to Georgia, I decided to do a fast. The fast was a dry fast and totally something that had me in over my head. I was so flustered by my reality. Continuously asking God to silence the noise in my mind because I just want to hear Him. My spiritual attack always comes in finances, it’s like I never have enough. In a weird way, my bank account won’t make sense but God still provides. He is truly Jehovah Jireh.
Assessing a Moment of Weakness
On the second day of my fast I was so drained. Writing about it now I feel so guilty because I spoke to God. Knowing that because His strength was made good in my weakness I needed some guidance. I felt led to break my fast, which I did. But it did not feel good. I made a commitment to see it through because I was looking to God for security. In me seeking guidance to break the fast, He also gave me clear directions on where to go to get some nourishment. Not only was I fed but God also showed me in a beautiful way that my thoughts of money truly have no relevance in this season. He will provide. And that He did.
I received 100 dollars that day and it was only because of God’s willingness to stand on the promises He made to me. I was able to fill up my gas tank, get myself a soup and put some monies aside for a rainy day. As I got through the week, I realized I’ve always desired to create many things to influence Gods people. I’ve always made excuses, always avoided the extra time granted to me. Even now, I was so bogged down about not starting the job I got hired for. I started to get emotional about having peace. The peace to stay in the comfort of my home, the time to create the things that I love, and the freedom. The freedom that so many people pray for. God granted me because He wants me to prepare for what’s to come.
Surrendering to the call:
Last year I made a 21 day devotional, and I never edited it to be published. But I do feel like God was pushing me to try my hand at it. So I created a three day devotional, one that emphasizes a desire to a healthy prayer life. An opportunity to encourage others to pray without ceasing, ask for your desires and give God praise. We sometimes get it wrong, we don’t thank God like it’s already done. We complain until it’s done, some of us may even try to put matters into our own hands. Which just causes havoc in our lives, and it negates God from being exactly who we know Him to be.
You cannot be the God of your own life. So I leave you with the devotional journal. This is an opportunity for you to become more intimate with God. It opens the door for clearer intentions so that God can grant you your desires. It has three days filled with reflections including scripture, prayers and two journal entries per day. In this, I leave you with 4 extra journal entries at your own discretion to set powerful intentions for the day. Alongside scripture to promote welcoming God’s spirit to go along on your journey.
My hope
I pray that this can be a powerful tool to enhance your spiritual career. I have created two different options. A minimalistic version and a colorful one. I am certain that this is a great introductory for anyone looking to incorporate more space for God. This is a way for you to show your gratitude. Change your posture to dwell in His blessings. I have a hope that I could sell at least 7 journals before the end of September. I’m praying God works a miracle and provides me some sales so I can start to make a difference. This difference will impact me and those willing to be changed by Gods grace alone!
