I reread this devotional several times today trying to figure out how to apply it to my life. I am currently at a place in my life where I am content, thankful, and complete. I have no wants or needs. I am fulfilled and truly, my cup runneth over. It's a very good yet confusing place to be. I pray but don't know what to pray for ... I am thankful, but I feel like I am supposed to be praying for more. As I write this I am coming to realize what this devotional means to be. Last Sunday I caught Joel Osteen on TV teaching about the "C" prayer. Why we need to pray the
"A" prayer, and not just settle for average. These are the words I remember:
"A" prayer, and not just settle for average. These are the words I remember:
"John 10:10 tells us that Jesus came to give us life—not just any life, but abundant life—complete, whole and thriving in every way. With Him, you can have more love, more power, more joy, greater peace, better relationships, deeper insight and so much more!"
So my prayer for myself this year will be to not settle on what I think "being fulfilled" is, but to pray for abundance in life, love, and my relationship with God.
