Having BIG faith to pray BIG prayers to a BIG God is not going to be fulfilling if it's only for ourselves all the time. God wants to enlarge our capacity to include other people and their needs. David prayed that type of prayer in Psalm 119:32:
I will run the course of Your commandments, For You shall enlarge my heart.
With the launching of "The Table", our online prayer community this week, the Church really needs for all of us to pray for God to enlarge our hearts. In other words, pray that we all have a greater capacity to pray BIG prayers to a BIG God with BIG faith for the needs of those who entrust their prayer requests to us. Don't take those prayer requests lightly! By the way, you can sign up for "The Table" at www.lwfc.org .
Also, let's ask the the Holy Spirit for a BIG word for our Church and life for 2012. Let's let the Holy Spirit set our faith goals this year, not our doubts, our friends, or our bad experiences! God has a purpose for your existence here on earth. Find out what it is and PURSUE it!
I talked with a lady at lunch today who has had a strong desire for a long time to go to school to be a dental assistant, and finally today, she applied! Fear had held her back for a couple of years, but today she "took the plunge!"
In what area of YOUR life is the Holy Spirit trying to get you to "TAKE THE PLUNGE"?
