Just recently, we were encouraged to remember who we are talking to when we pray. I mentioned envisioning the throne of God before I began to pray. This week, I was encouraged to go a step further. In the study I'm using, Beth Moore encouraged me to literally draw or right out the things that were heavy on my heart....the things I am earnestly praying for. Then she said that after I prayed, I should literally write "before the throne" across them. Such a simple exercise with such depth and meaning. I can't tell you how many times this week I began to worry about something, and once again reminded myself. "Before the throne. Its before the throne." One of my biggest requests lately has been work for my husband. It has been difficult for me to transition from a mom at home to a working mom, but being the primary income is sometimes more weight than I feel my shoulders can bear. He didn't work more than an hour a day the previous two weeks, before he was sent home. This week, after putting it before the throne, he has been working 12 hour days (between three jobs). Sometimes we have to be careful what we ask for. LOL!
Today is my spiritual birthday. I posted on Facebook that 26 years ago today, I gave my heart to Jesus; and He has taken very good care of it. It is really the same with our prayers - our heartfelt cries. When we put things before the throne, He takes our gift seriously and does a good job of taking care of it.
What do you need to put before the throne?
