"Lord of the universe, I swear before Your great name that I will not move from this circle until You have show mercy upon Your children."
So many times it is not our lack of praying that is the problem. It is our lack of resolution to not do anything except wait for the answer.
I believe that our sin nature rises up even as our spirit is praying to formulate "Plan B" in case God doesn't answer our prayers.
But Honi knew that there was no Plan B.
And if we are honest, we know that too. Plan B is not what we crave for our lives. Plan B is the token that Hell throws our way, hoping that we will settle for that. Hell is begging us to move from the circle so that they don't have to give up any ground. But let us remember that Satan has been defeated and we must go after that which God won for us. . .even if it means circling in prayer.
"Each raindrop was a tangible token of God's grace. And they didn't just soak the skin; they soaked the spirit with faith. It had been difficult to believe the day before the day. The day after the day, it was impossible not to believe."
As we begin this adventure, this is what I am asking God to do for each one of us. To give us an extra measure of grace that soaks our spirit with faith. For so many of us, we are so parched by life that any faith we had for miracles seems to have dried up & blown away! But may today change our spiritual climate!
Let's pray this together, knowing that He hears us!
"Heavenly Father, I want it to be said of ME that it was impossible to not believe! Please give me faith that soaks me through and through so that I can once again dream with you and not be parched by fear. I want to become a circle maker."
Relentlessly,
Angela Billups Smith
