Prayer for next year.

[Mike Chgo area]

Dear God,

My prayer for 2012 is for

A fat bank account & a thin body.

Please don't mix these up like you did last year.

AMEN!

My prayer, for the past ten months, has been that God would heal my body, my mind, my spirit and my soul. I asked Him for wisdom and understanding to serve Him better and to love all His children as He loves them. I have prayed that He would give me faith that's at least as big as a grain of mustard seed; the kind of faith that moves mount- ains. He said, in John 14:12 that, if I truly believe in Him, I would do what He has done and more. And then I am reminded of the man who told Jesus that he believes and asked Jesus to help his unbelief. In spirit, I am that man. I have come to understand that my faith is too small, my understanding lacking, and my wisdom nonexistent. He is so wise, so understanding, and loving and I fall so terribly short of His ideal of what His children are suppose to become. And yet He loves me and, for all the world, I can't figure out why because I am unworthy and don't deserve His affection. He died for me and forgave me, after I pounded the nails through his hands with my sins. All my life I have wanted to heal the sick, drive out the evil spirits, and raise the dead just as He has done but I am not able to do any of those things and I can't help but ask myself why it is that I cannot?

So my prayer, for the coming year, is that I will become all He wants me to be. I truly hope that that becomes the prayer of all mankind. Come Lord Jesus and live in and through me!

He does say that we can do what He does and has done! But everyone does not have all the gifts nor the talents! We each must seek what we want from the Lord and even the better gifts but takes great faith and the willingness to do them, which isn't often very easy! For instance healing the sick, would put yourself in having everyone coming to your door for healings and that wouldn't be so great with no privacy, rest or peace from the public! You are doing more than you think you are! May God Bless! Amen! Ma Betty

PS I prayed during a Watch Night Service in 1986 that God would give me all He wanted me to have to serve HIm in 1987....even prayed, read the Bible and was praying this before noon on New Year's Day and that is when the first poem came spilling out faster than I could write it and then they kept coming and coming! Wrote down as many as I could remember and had time for, which ended up to not many the last few years but have written 3000 plus...because I quit counting them when taking care of my brother Cliff and then getting more ill myself! There are many true Christian healers in Lord Jesus but there are also fakes....so only in God's Holy Spirit and in the knowledge of God's Word can we know who is real and who is not! Praying for you! Amen! Betty
