This morning I spent some time in prayer and really focused on Sandy's question of the week. I'm not really in any difficult situations right now, so I was really curious and intent to see if God had anything specific to say to me as far as what He would have me do next.
Well, what I heard Him say to me was, "Lisa, get back into the Word."
I do a weekly Bible study from Sept. through mid April and since then I haven't opened my Bible aside from Sunday mornings at church.
Hmmmm, OK God. So I got out my Bible and a 6 week study that I purchased (actually a couple years ago
) to do during the summer. It's called Living Free by Beth Moore. Anyway I got started and what do you know, the entire study is about learning to "pray God's word" as in using scripture during your prayer time to bring you closer to God and to demolish strongholds in your life.
Very interesting that He should lead me in this direction as I'm reading this book and thinking and talking with others about my prayer life. Definitely not a coincidence!
