Hey hey!!
All my life, I knew I was going to be SOMETHING. Something great. Something wonderful. Successful, famous and something so intellectually on point, I would lightly stab the world between the eyes.
“Here I am, World. Eat your heart out!
Yes, I have been focusing on me and what this next year will bring me. I’ve worked extremely hard becoming the woman I am today. I know I have a bright future and many things to look forward to anddd all I have ever dreamed of WILL be my reality..
But you know what I’ve been doing lately? I’ve been praying for people… Yup, you read right, I’ve been praying a lot for people I love and have crossed paths with.
I’ve completely removed my little heart from this ruthless world, and I’ve never felt better…
How does a woman of this world focus less on BEING something and devote herself to DOING something?
Prayer, you guys. It all comes down to prayer.
In the past, I’ve been what you would call a “casual” pray-er. If an anxiety attack comes on, God’s the first dude I call. If my plane is doing the turbulence dance, I’m all over the prayer stuff. If anyone I love has a suspicious looking mole on their cheek and even if it only turns out to be a sprinkle from their cupcake, I’ll pray so hard.
& for the longest time, prayer wasn’t necessarily something I sought to do on a regular basis, nor was it a thing that I believed actually worked. Really, it was just a way to focus my mind on something so worry wouldn’t give me anxiety in my stomach…
God isn’t some genie in the sky who blinks and grants your every wish. And I’m right, He’s not…
But He’s love. He’s the connection between your heart and mine. And when we pray with intention for another human being instead of our own selfish needs and wants, we’re helping to connect those we’re praying for to God and wrap them in his warm embrace. Try it, it works ❤️😉
with love..
