Monday was my off day.. And I was looking for a hiding place again. It was drizzling, so can't go to the beach. Decided to go to the newly re-opened Kallang Leisure Park, coz I know it will be deserted there.
Settled down at a nice cafe, opened my Bible. I had to jot down some pointers, for cell discussion on Intercessory Prayer. I found myself at a seemingly unrelated Scripture at Matt (12: 48-50).
"Who is My mother and who are My brothers?... For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother."
God was speaking to me about seeking out His will for others when praying for them, not just pray out of good intentions, or on the basis of human relationships. We have to basically see as the Lord sees in the situation.
Little did I know that I needed to battle this through later that night. I was praying for a friend when God asked me to put that friendship on the altar. I had to give up my own understanding and my own love for the person, so that the Lord can intervene and pour out His love that is far greater.
But I had to wrestle, I had to struggle... I had to release something dear to my heart to Him. I had to acknowledge that He can take care of the situation much better than me.
I felt much lighter after that... The Lord took over the burden on me, and I know He will cause that breakthrough to come : )
"Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." 1 Pet (5:7)
