Expect and Surrender!


-John Brydon

Do you ever enter prayer feeling weak?  There is certainly nothing wrong with that because, even as the children’s song suggests, “we are weak and He is strong”.  Nonetheless, there are times when I have found my weakness crippling my ability to pray.  I know I don’t have the ability or the authority to effectively change a situation and somehow I assume because I don’t, God doesn’t either.  Obviously, that is a serious mistake. 




When you pray, please remember who you are praying to.  Almighty God: 

¨ Has every possible resource available to Him.

¨ Loves you and those you care about even more than you do.

¨ Understands the situation you are in even better than you do.

It also helps to remember, that no one, anywhere in all creation, wants better for you than Almighty God.

When you pray through this time of fasting, remind yourself who you are and who He is.  Enter into His presence, at once expectant and surrendered.  Look again at the three bulleted thoughts above, and rejoice.
