Praying through Faith-Stretching Assignments

9/17/2016

0 Comments

 
Oftentimes in college, students who want to pursue graduate work or medical school, etc. are faced with "weed courses". Courses that set the students up for a incredibly challenging semester.  These assignments aren’t set up for their failure, but rather to help them expand their talents, gifts, and mental abilities to accomplish a project. Many times students don’t know what they can do until they are in a position where they need to figure things out for themselves. 

God often gives His people "weed" experiences as well. He allows us to deal with trials and situations that we feel very incapable of working out. It’s in these times, that we discover more about God’s power within us that gives us the ability to overcome insurmountable problems.

If we were given the choice to enroll in these faith-stretching courses, most all of us would respond by asking for a withdrawal slip. Many times these "assignments" are exceptionally difficult and we feel like there’s no way it could ever work itself out.

It seems, more often than not, we discover our faith in God, our ability to pray through difficulty, and  deepen our understanding of God’s word.  Our prayers become more intense and focused. When our stretch assignment has been completed, we will then be more ready for the next one—because we know what our God can do even with a tiny mustard seed of faith!

PRAYER
Dear Lord, I feel like I’m in a faith-stretching assignment that is well beyond me. I need your wisdom and insight to finish this task well. In Jesus’ name, amen.

    Really, I never thought that I'd say, "... table for 6, please." going to dinner with my family. I had plans to be a professor and travel the world. I moved from Missouri to West Texas for graduate school and was just passing through, when I met a man that captivated my heart and held my hand.

    Both teachers at the time, we met before Spring Break, got engaged the day after school was out and got married over Thanksgiving Break. And we shared our wedding cake top with the Labor and Delivery nurses in the hospitial when our oldest child was born. Our courtship was quick and it was exciting. And I don't think that we'd trade any of it for what we thought it might be.

    This magical adventure is more amazing than anything that I had planned.
