Do you keep praying? pt 2 . . .
Of course you keep praying . . . 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says we are to always pray. The thing is – if you have already prayed and asked God for something or asked God for direction with regard to something and it shows up, then should you keep praying about doing it? No . . . your prayer should change for his guidance as you walk through and for him to block any path which is not of him. You continue to pray for his will to be done and for him to be glorified.
As we are looking at the potential of Loving God through Loving this little child it lines up with the prayers we have prayed before. Now we can sit around and continue to say let me pray about this once the situation arrises or we can begin to walk out in faith with the prayers we have already prayed and continue to pray for God’s will to be done and for him to be gloried. We can pray for this mother to know the presence of the Lord and be guided by his hand and not and emotion or a sense of desperation. We can pray God’s blessing over our children as they have an unbelievable chance to model the Love of Christ to someone else. We can pray that God will have this mother keep her child if she feels through God’s strength she can raise it.
OR
We can tell Pastor Seven we need to pray about this (even though this is just the way we would have dreamed something like this to happen) and possibly miss the opportunity to be the hands and feet of God to this mother and child when they need us most. While we are off in our prayer closet they may be at the end of their rope.
We do continue to pray but we must GO forward and pray as we GO because we were prayed up when the opportunity came up. The key to serving the Lord is always being ready.
