Prayer Reflections

Doing some writing on prayer 

these days for an upcoming conference.
Loved a devotion this week in 
My Utmost for His Highest
 by Oswald Chambers.
"Keep your life so constantly in touch
 with God that His surprising power 
can break through at any point. 
Live in a constant state of expectancy
 and leave room for God to come in as He decides."
He speaks about not expecting God 
to come in a particular way,
 but to LOOK FOR HIM.
We tend to plan and script the way that God 
can enter into our life situations 
and for those we pray.
He always responds in surprise.
More that we could have imagined in our prayers.
Even though sometimes,
 we won't see it in our lifetime.
Oh, Lord, let us be surprised.
