– Genesis 49:25
It's Raining F.O.G.!
Have you ever needed God's Help? Have you sat there thinking, "Man! I could really use God's help right about now!" I know that's a bit simplistic, but sometimes that's exactly what we need – simplicity in our pleas to God. "God, I need help!" He knows you need help. He's just waiting for you to say it and He wants you to stop trying to figure it out on your own and just let Him help you. In fact, He'll more than help you. He'll help you in a way that will show everyone how good and awesome He is. He'll fix things you didn't even know were broken – He's that willing to put His hand to your purpose.
Are you facing something that is beyond your ability to take care of? Even if you're not, are you in a place where you just need to get closer to God? Do you want to really understand what it really means to live in His favor? Simply ask, in the simplest of prayers, with the simplicity of a child's heart – in a plain, humble, unpretentious way – ask Him to give you His blessings. You are His child. He just wants a simple relationship with you. Just a, "Good morning Pops! What-r-we gonna do today?" or a "Good night Dad, I'll be watching for you in my dreams!" Your conversations with Him don't have to be religious-speak, or long and drawn out "holy sounding" prayers filled with Thou, Thus, or Thee in every sentence. Just normal conversations – intimate and familiar – like the kind you would have with your best friend.
The key is, that you have to have relationship with Him first. You have to understand WHO is in charge (and YOU is not!). You have to seek HIm out with all your energy and all the effort and ingenuity you can muster. You have to willingly and expectingly open yourself up to HIm so that He can take all the junk out of your life. You have to know who He is, and then act like you know who He is. Then, when you simply come and say, "Father, I need You!" The Strong God will bless you, and His blessings will come tumbling out of the sky and bursting up from the earth! Just like His love does . . . for you!
Prayer
Father thank You for wanting to bless Your children. You are the Strong God, the MIght God . . . my Papa! And Your blessings are so very cool! They come in all shapes and sizes and they pour in from every direction! You so freely give, and I just ask your forgiveness for the times I take You for granted. Thank You for Your Love and Your blessings, and I pray blessings over all my brothers and sisters today. Help them to see You today and to understand how simple a relationship with You can be.
Have a blessed day everyone!
