Nothing is to big or to small for God

I wanted an "idea" not for myself, but more for those that receive this Higher Grounds writing to understand/grasp the idea that they are not alone in what ever they are praying for. I wanted generalities not specifics for I did not and I do not want in their business. That is between them and God.

I was looking for something they have prayed over for days, months and possibly even years, not giving up, believing GOD for answered prayer. I wanted to encourage you that you are NOT alone in praying for something that you have not seen come to pass...yet. We don't always know why God hasn't answered our prayers but one thing I BELIEVE is that He does answer them. Sometimes they are a yes and sometimes they are a no and even still a "not yet". I also BELIEVE that He knows the big picture, and some things in my prayer concern may need some more "tweaking" either in me or the other person(s) involved. I know that God is God, and I am not. I know that He loves me, and He loves them. I know that I want Him in my life, strong, evident, and REAL. And honestly, I BELIEVE that no prayer is to large or small for Him, because He is the creator. From the ant to the elephant; molecule to the universe; baby to adult; both small & large.

Here are some of the answers I have received back via e-mail:

A Godly spouse for my child
His continued presence in my family
The correct job, or peace with my job
Healing in a relationship
Someone dear to me to leave the "gay" lifestyle
Forgiveness and healing in our church families
A new direction & purpose as we MATURE in aging and the discouragement we find in aging/health.
To see Him in my life
Strength & willpower to change our temples (self-control/denying self)
Finances
Stepping out in obedience to start a new "ministry" that will be in addition to a project my parents started in Africa
Schooling
Marriage
Children
Trust God
Strength for the task and the seemingly hard days aheadSalvation for all of my family and for the wanderers to return wholeheartedly to GodRevival
Peace
Being angry with life not going as one thought it should, to the point of being angry at God


As you read down through this list of prayer requests from my Sisters in Christ, how many of them did you read and say to yourself, "I sure stood (or am standing) on God's promises for this or that" . Or "wow, I didn't realize that some one else would have those concerns"?

I ask that you continue to pray and stand on the Promises of God. DO NOT GIVE UP! That still small Voice that spoke promises to your heart, those promises that you read in The Word of God, promises meant for you and for me, BELIEVE GOD FOR THEM!
Galatians 6:8-9 "The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." I know that this isn't talking about praying, specifically, but I do believe praying is sowing. With what ever it is we find ourselves continually praying over I want to challenge you with one other scripture to not give up....

Mark 10:27 NIV Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

Sisters, I love you so, and so does Jesus Christ. If you haven't begun a personal relationship with Him, seek Him out! For heaven's sake, it is the most awesome thing I have ever done, and then....never ever give up for ALL things are possible WITH God. Lovingly, Yolanda
