Thank You for Always Hearing Me...

Dear Father God,

     First and foremost – Thank YOU.  Thank you for the ability to pray and to call out to you both in spirit and in writing; sitting here at my work station, not sure if I would call it my office or even a desk.  A desk is something that I envision in such a different manner.  A home office has a desk ensconced and perched in the perfect position in order to produce a heartfelt work; or perhaps in a picturesque destination that inspires me to write or to say something that enlightens a reader or a hearer on just how good my God is.  Father I pray for that place and that peace where this leg of my journey comes to entering into and not merely sojourning until me and this life arrive at death do us part.  You asked the question, “Do I believe that you are able to do this”, and Father as Peter answered, “Lord you know”.  I can hear Peter saying it with such an exasperated response because no matter what we ourselves believe or whatever we answer – “Lord, you know”.  Sometimes my heart is fickle and I believe emphatically one way and then at the slightest blow of the wind, my heart has turned against that thing that I so passionately believed.  All I know is that you said “Author”, not just write.  Writing, I have been doing all of my life but being an “Author”, to some might sound like the same thing but they are not, they are twins and even when twins are identical, there are some unique characteristics that distinguish them individually.  When I put on my author’s cap am more informative and ideas and inspiration flow through me via a different channel than when I am simply writing in the spirit and praying; though both are giving Glory to you, they are being done so with a slight difference of intensity and veracity.  Give me a word that will have the impact as the Children of Israel received to witness the walls of Jericho tumbling down.  I often wonder not about whether you told me that I would be an author but moreover have I written my magnum opus just yet.  Give me the wherewithal and the discerning insight Father to wait on your next instruction and to continue to have the fervor and favor to want to do your will over anything else.  It is my prayer in Jesus name.  Amen.
