Potty Prayers

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. — 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)

This is so awesome I just had to share! It’s not about me, and I hope Heather will not mind me sharing

In my previous post Fear of what others think, I had shared some examples of fears we might let control us. Heather told me the part about not inviting people over because the house is messy so spoke to her. Heather is aways encouraging to me in regards to my writings and telling me how much they mean to her. This means a great deal to me — not because it validates me in any way, shape or form — but because I know God’s working through me to share with at least one person. To see what God’s doing in Heather’s life is truly amazing to watch from where I’m sitting and I’m so thankful God’s let me be a part of her life!

Today Heather shared with me that she had a house full of people yesterday, and they had a really good time. I absolutely love what she said next:

I think there were so many people here that you couldn’t see the imperfections.

How truly awesome and insightful is that!?!? She was not worried at all about what she perceived as imperfections in her home or herself. She opened her heart and her home to this group of people and she had a wonderful time! God wants us to fellowship with other believers. He wants us to have that friendship, but even more importantly, support from other Christians. If you don’t take the first step and put yourself out there, you’ll never realize some of the blessings God has in store for you!

Prayer: Lord I just want to thank you and praise you right now for the great and awesome blessings you are laying on Heather. I pray that you reach down to each and every one of your children, give us a spirit of power, love and a sound mind. Help us to overcome our fears so we might help others overcome their fears as well. Thank you for helping me over my fear of writing. Use it to bless every single person who reads it.
