Stepping Up to The Call

I finally did it… started a blog dedicated to posting prayers and offerings of intercession. I want to thank everyone who encouraged me to begin this. Without your nudging the nudge that I was already getting from the Holy Spirit, I may have never had the courage to begin this. A super huge thank you to Ross Alexander who’s heart for these prayers probably blessed me more than the prayers blessed him! Sorry it’s taken so long Ross :) ~ I just couldn’t commit on a title. lol.  But tonight, as I sat before him in the secret place of my heart, asking what to do about these requests I’ve had to start a blog of my prayers, I confess, I struggled. My heart’s desire is that He ALONE be glorified. And I really am not trying to draw attention to myself. As I told Papa the “why’s” of what was holding me back, I heard Him speak to me saying “just let them read the things heard before my throne.” In a moment it was settled in my mind.

These prayers are offerings to Him for me, for you, for us. They are started in the heart of God, Continued in the heart of a daughter, and finished in Papa’s heart.  So please as you read any of these prayers, focus soley oh Him who is worthy, and be blessed.

 ”Papa, I don’t really know what you have in mind for this little blog. I don’t know who you want to bless through it other than me. If no one ever reads it, I’ll be just as happy to keep praying and posting as if many had read it. Being here draws me closer to your heart, and that alone is my desire. Help me not to hold back anything here in this place, because YOU my Lord are my shelter and covering. I pray whoever might read these things will be blessed x10! Papa, keep my heart real and keep my heart humble… these prayers are just echos of the things heard night and day before the throne…  more than anything may they bless your heart Papa. I ask you to sanctify and set this blog apart for your glory. This is your thing Papa…. take it where you want to go, I’m stepping up to the call.” In Jesus Name… Amen.

  4. FD, No need to thank me, it is I who thanks you! You through your prayers have helped me to see God not as a distant being, the disciplinarian, cold hearted judge, but as a Father! Your prayers to our Father not only teach me who He is, and how He is, but how I should be with my children, not a distant being, the disciplinarian or cold hearted judge, but a dad who can be loved on, and love, not feared. I have a long way to go in believing that God can really love me (even though I have mouthed the words many times), and a long way to go with my children and wife. One day I pray that I can be the type of father that my family can love as you love Him and I can love them the way He loves you.
