God Come Quickly To Me

Day 214

Reading: Ezekiel 10:1 - Ezekiel 13:23

God,

I have read and heard of Your greatness. I can testify that yes I have seen You and know that of a truth You are the Living God. You have been there for me in the good and bad times. Thank You for loving me even when I doubted You. The more I read Your Word the more I am stirred to seek Your face. However, Lord, I am troubled. Troubled by many things. Troubled when I see the state of things in my world. Troubled by a feeling that I am wasting away striving to get somewhere and maybe I have chosen the wrong route to get to my destination. Troubled because my world is far from what Your promises say. Troubled because I can't see Your hand in my life. I seem to hear prophecies that never come to pass.

Will I arrive in Canaan? Will I see what I desire from You? Will I fulfil that which You have ordained me for? God, have I departed from Your will is a question I am constantly asking myself. Not because I think I have lost it but I can't see Your Word coming to pass like I once knew. Reading Ezekiel, I feel as though I have gone to captivity and my eyes have been removed. Forgive me for listening and entertaining to false prophets who spoke peace when a war was approaching. Forgive me for speaking from my heart and saying it was Your word when in reality I didn't hear what Heaven was saying. 

As I sit here and look at my life, hearing all the things many are saying of me I can only cry to you, Lord, many say that I am finished. Even I wonder whether I will ever make it. Mockery has become my story. Many hear of me and shake their heads in disbelief. Will I declare your Word with power again? To substitute the lack of power I have chased intellectualism forgetting that You created the world by power and established it by wisdom. Power must go hand in hand with wisdom. Lord, I have given myself to the ways of the world and have not lived a life of faith in You. A life that is given to You and seeks only what You have. 

My cry to You Lord is that You quicken Your promises to me. Lord, let there be no more delay in seeing Your Word fulfilled. The world is perishing and we can only cry to You. Restore me to the place You called me. Give me a heart of flesh, taking away the heart of stone that I may serve you out of a contrite and broken heart. Lord, I pray for a new season in my life. A season of restoration is what I desire. This letter is not only a cry for help, it's also a cry of repentance for only You can make me be the person You ordained. I cannot make myself. Lord make me and don't delay in making me! Thank you because I know my story will be Your story. This letter is also a reminder that God is loving and able to do great things. Thank You because I know my story will not remain the same. I will seek Your purposes over and above my purposes. I choose Your plans over mine. Lord, come quickly and surprise me. No more delay, let that be my story as You manifest Your good promises to me Joshua 21:45.

Your Loving Child.
