um, could You lower the veil, please?

Today was way different. I didn't stick to the plan - which is fine, but man, did He slam me...

One of my constant prayers is for clarity - for Him to lift the veil, just a little. Well, He took me seriously today, and I have been positively overwhelmed at our absolute NEED for Him. We need so much! We have so many prayers! We desire so many answers! We need to TRUST HIM. He's constantly asking me, "Do you trust Me?" That's a topic for another time.

What's on my heart tonight is our desperate need for God. And I don't have many words. As I unwrap this gift of intercession, He shows me something, allows me to process it, then shows me something else. Today, all day, He has allowed prayer after prayer after prayer to come on my heart. Prayers from friends, from strangers, from everywhere, and I am thrown for a loop. Apparently His definition of clarity and mine are completely different... He is showing me the magnitude, seriousness and responsibility of this gift. And, quite frankly, it scares the crap out of me. I hear Him asking me, "Ann. Do you trust ME?"

Lord, please, may my answer ALWAYS be a bold and resounding YES, even as my flesh and my mind cringe. Lord, may it be so.

This comes from one of your friends who constantly tugs on your shirt to pray for me.

Your insight and heart are a blessing and sometimes a conviction as I walk this road of faith and stumble a bit.

Thank you for holding me up in prayer when I'm face down in the dirt.

Hey Beautiful - intercession is a two-way street, and I know that all too well. Thank you for holding my arms up for me.
