From Me to we
The very first word of The Lord’s Prayer reveals that though God counts the number of hairs on your head, and indeed cares individually for you and your unique prayers – God counts and cares for every one of the 8 billion people on the earth too! All humanity is created in God’s image and for His pleasure. He loves us all! We are all linked in a marvelous and mysterious way.
Never more true than when we pray. Like a pebble dropped in the water creates countless ripple effects out to the sea – so every prayer request and its response has, be it major or minute, an effect on humanity and the earth. “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven!”
From ME to WE.
Though difficult to comprehend, everything God does for us as individuals is not an isolated or a stand alone experience. Every prayer request and its response will have some form of impact on every person; every tribe, tongue and territory.
For example, a simple prayer for a Better Job turns out to be a complicated request. Imagine the alignments required. All the circumstances, finances, other people’s decisions, the timing – a myriad of things become necessary for perfect aligning for that one prayer request to manifest – WHEW!
Yet, OUR Heavenly Father promises us that He hears and will answer every prayer we pray – personally. We are to ask in faith and believe that we will receive! No prayer request is too BIG that God is intimidated, or no request too SMALL that He would be insulted.
God’s answer to our prayers are always YES or KNOW. Yes and Amen to every promise, or KNOW as in, God KNOWS best. God KNOWS exactly WHEN and HOW the answer should come. It’s always a Win/When!
Remember, every prayer affects every person on earth. This is a powerful yet perplexing paradox to understand. Don’t be overwhelmed. When you pray start by simply saying, “OUR Father…,” then have absolute conviction the Father hears and will respond to you as though you’re His ONLY child!
From each single strand of hair on your head, to every single heir of God on the earth, Father hears and cares. You can take that personally!
