UPDATE! the prayer of Jabez…
God has been making some serious changes in my life since Du and I started adding this to our morning meditations.
The respect for who each of us are has deepened, and our viewpoints are becoming more vague, which is always a good thing when you contentedly wish that each other gets their wish.
It also helped to pray “to keep me from evil” as we had 3 really odd things almost happen, each were stopped short. So we prayed over our house and property an anointing to bless and protect with the Our Father.
And then a just 2 days later we came to the “idea” together that wouldn’t it be fun to build a barndominium. So we talked about it, unemotionally. We stuck to the facts, the logistics, and sought Gods opinion on it. Which brought us back to the logistics, or common sense. It was a good idea and it finally loosed the words that had been locked on the tip of our tongue.
And we had asked God seriously in “enlarging our borders” and God heard. He knew we meant it.
And just like that we have peace as instantaneously our 10+ years home became a house and we are looking to see what is next. After all, true joy in life comes through relationships, not through where you live or what you own.
God is just so crazy cool. 😀
