My Morning Prayer: Encouragement in Prayer, Pray Seated

My Morning Prayer: Encouragement in Prayer, Pray Seated
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

Pray seated! (Resting in the victory of His finished work)
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 2:6 NIV).

How did this happen? Not because we became worthy or got it all together (Ephesians 2:1-5).

Stay Seated

You are seated with Christ. That means you are in a place of rest…no need to be standing up and nervously fretting and pacing about. Let His peace calm your anxious heart.

Are you waiting on God for an answer to something you’ve prayed about? Stay seated. He is faithful and working out His plan and purpose.

Do you lack understanding? Stay seated. The light will come.

Do you have a need you can’t meet? Stay seated. He will provide.

Are you facing a problem you can’t solve? Stay seated. He is all wise…

Are you unsure of what is ahead? Stay seated. He is working out His plan.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Oh, Heavenly Father, how heavy this weighs on my heart. I KNOW that you are faithful and will work out your plan and purpose. I know your light will come, and that you will provide more than I can ask or think. I know that in your wisdom you are orchestrating your best plan for my future—then why is it so hard for me to sit at your feet and wait for your perfect timing? Change me. Change me. Change me. Change these circumstances for myself and for those I love...and change me. Change my heart to love you more. Change my timeline to wait for you to move. Change my expectations so that I may find peace and contentment in your provisions. Change my mind that I may think more like you, my eyes that I may see all the things going on around me that are not me or mine to hold. Change all of me, and mold me to you. I want to be more like you as I face these things. I know I am not alone—you are with me, you are for me, you love me...and I love you all the more because of it. In Jesus's name, amen.
