Yesterday in my devotions I read through what is really the Lord's prayer. I absolutely love this prayer as Jesus' love and passion are poured out first on His disciples and then on all believers. However, as I was reading this, I noticed something else about this prayer, Jesus recapped His earthly ministry pointing out to the Father that He had done all that He had come to do and that He was ready to face the crucifixion and complete salvation's plan. Jesus was ready for the answer. There was nothing left for Him to do. He had taught, He had performed miracles, He had worked, He had challenged the religious system and He had prepared His disciples to carry on His work.
I can not begin to express to you how ready I am for God to answer this. This has been quite a journey. It began with a challenge from God, to try Him and see all that He could do. It has since blossomed into this amazing work of God. God has shown both Steph and me so many things concerning prayer and faith and I have diligently taught them to my students. God asked me to surrender my will to His own over Tebow being a Bronco and that is fully done. God said 'pray bigger' and we did and have seen tremendous spiritual results. We have written letters, we have blogged, we have Face Booked. My students have been challenged to become genuine prayer warriors and they have accepted that challenge and gone beyond. They are ready to climb to that next level of faith and prayer. There is nothing left, it has all been done, everything He has asked, we have done.
I am tired, but as my dad used to say, 'it's a good tired.' God has accomplished much through us. I am tired from the monumental effort this journey has been. I'm not weary or discouraged, just the opposite actually, I am just ready to rejoice in the rewards for a little while, that's all. A little rest and a HUGE victory before God brings on the next round.
