My Prayer Right Now

My church is having this week of prayer... a time for us to pray for a Harvest Festival that is taking place at the church in a couple of weeks. I'm not generally one to participate in things like this... I don't know why.. I just don't. But one of the girls in my small group signed us up for it tonight. And I didn't have this major revelation. I got more out of our time before the prayer time when we talked about the Bible Study we're going through... but I came upon this prayer that someone wrote in the journal in the prayer room. Now I know, I was supposed to be writing a prayer, not reading others... but it encourages me to see what God is doing in others lives, especially when I can't always see what He's doing in mine... so I read one. And this is what it said....

"Lord - Thank you for being patient with me. I know now that you have been there all along - putting people in my path along the way. I also know now that your Grace and a relationship with you has been what I've been after all my life. Now that I've accepted you, I seek your Grace for both myself and to help others to Find you, Know you, Feel you, and to Experience your Grace! I thank you everyday for all that you do for me, and each day I try to do your will and to bring others to you. You have brought so much peach to my life and my family's life and I am so greatful. I have such plans to bring others to know you, you know what they are and deep down, I know you will reveal your plan when it is right - I just feel so impatient. Please help me to truly understand that when the time is right, you will put all the people, places, and things in place.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. You truly are an amazing God and I am ready for you to use me to reach others."

I have no idea who wrote this prayer.... but this person and I share the same heart. I know that God has a plan for me, I've just got to be patient and allow his will to be done, not mine. I love the part when they say... "I know you will reveal your plan when it is right - I just feel so impatient." THAT IS ME!!!!!

Lord, help me to wait on your plan. I know that your way is the only way I want to go. I know that your will is better than any place I can be. Help me to continue to walk in that path. Sometimes it's so hard to be patient and wait for the desires of my heart to be fulfilled. Help me to lean on you and not look to others for answers. You're the true source of wisdom. Help me ot be a light so that others may see you and your work in my life. And thank you for Megan. I'm really going to miss her Lord. She's been a true blessing in my life. Thanks for that. Keep her strong. May she continue to grow and allow you to work in her life. I love you Lord. Thanks for not giving up on me. Thanks for the new heart that you've given me... I don't know where I'd be without you.

So I guess the prayer time was good. I think I got more out of the reflection time now that during... but that's ok to. God's good like that and gives us what we need, right when we need it.
