Our first prayer when our eyes open should be this: &#8220;Empty me of me, fill me with You, and guide me to whoever needs You today. \u00a0Give me divine appointments.&#8221; \u00a0He will!<\/p>\n<p>And what keeps us from praying this? \u00a0<span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em><strong>Fear<\/strong><\/em><\/span>. &#8216; What will this person think if I offer them something?&#8217; \u00a0How many times have I not obeyed the nudges.

His promises are always fulfilled. \u00a0 He has made a way in this hard world for us to walk through with confidence, knowing that He has already been there and it is safe.<\/p>\n<p>What is He calling you to do? \u00a0This week, be aware of the nudges that He gives you. Maybe it is to tell someone in the grocery store that Jesus loves them and He hasn&#8217;t forgotten them. \u00a0Or maybe you will be called on to pray for, or with, someone this week. \u00a0And when one of His children turns to Him and accepts Him into their life, all Heaven rejoices. \u00a0It is \u00a0a joyous occasion.<\/p>\n<p>You may not be Beth Moore or Joyce Meyer, but you <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em><strong>DO<\/strong> <\/em><\/span>have a calling on your life. \u00a0Ask for the strength you will need. \u00a0Ask to be brave.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.<br \/>\n1 Corinthians 16:13<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"> * \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u271e \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 * <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dear God, You are awesome and so good. \u00a0You are worthy to be praised and be worshipped. \u00a0Thank You for Your love that washes over us and the grace that comes before the Truth that You will speak in our lives. \u00a0Lord, You have called us to be Your church and to give to those in need. \u00a0Lord, show us where we are to go in Your name.
