Today’s Reading:
Day 6 / Shameless Audacity (pages 42-46)
My ah-ha from today’s reading:
“God won’t answer 100 percent of the prayers we don’t pray.”
Simple as that.
If this is your first time giving prayer a chance, you’re in for a ride. God has always been faithful to meet me in prayer. He’s never failed me.
The answers haven’t always been yes, or no. Sometimes it’s a wait. Actually, a lot of times I feel like a theme in my life is to wait.
I’ve learned that some of my best years and most valuable lessons have been in the waiting. And in answers that have been far beyond and far different than I would have ever imagined for my life.
I’m asking for big things from God in this season.
And He does want us to ask. The book of James says so:
How about you? Are you inspired to pray differently? Are you asking God for anything specific during this season?

My huge, impossible prayer is to be debt free. This has been an ongoing “prayer” for 10 years. After today’s reading I have realized that because of my disbelief in it becoming a reality I have not been working like it depends on me and praying like it depends of God. I’ve only been going through the motions of saying the words. So honestly, I have not been asking in faith. It is so hard to budget on a commission “salary” but I know it can be done if I trust God and follow His leading. So, I am praying faithfully and audaciously for the wisdom and willpower to tithe, save, and spend in a way that honors the Lord. I am not moving from this circle until we are debt free!

I am praying for the Lord to lead me on my job, and going back to school for more education. This is a big task when you have a family. I need the Lord to guide my steps and and help me make the right decision for my family, waiting is ok too, but it will make the road longer 🙂 I trust the Lord’s plan.

This is a tough one. I want to think I am trusting in God but if I keep worrying about stuff, them I am not fully trusting God to handle. I know He can and will take care of me, I just want to be sure that I stay in His will in all things!

You are correct – that is tough! I think this is something we all struggle with at some point. Worry can be overwhelming. I will be praying that you know His will above all else. That He makes your paths straight and guides your decisions.
