Sleepless Night

So tonight I was laying in bed, so tired that my I couldn't keep my eyes open but I couldn't go to sleep, and I felt it in my heart to come here and blog.. about what, I'm not sure yet, hopefully I will find a point.  Today was an amazing day, God is so good. A friend reminded me that God's timing is so perfect. She proceeded to tell me that God prepares us, the way Ester was prepared for her king. He is preparing us for His divine plan.  Sometimes I've wondered if the mistakes I made caused me to take the long way to what He has designed for me, you know kind of like the Israelites spending 40 years circling the same mountain. OR (and I am really voting for this one) God knew the mistakes I would make and this is all part of His plan.  All I know is that I have made mistakes, and unfortunately I am still human and I keep making mistakes.. However God's mercy is new EVERY morning!! Do you know how awesome that is?! Did you know that you can't go after Him without Him coming after you?! One of my favorite songs is Phillips, Craig, & Dean's "Mercy Came Running"... I hear that song and I am crying and praising God.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

I come to You tonight, feeling so humbled by Your goodness to me. By the fact that You still love me. Lord I pray You continue to work in me, continue to "prepare" me for the husband You have chosen for me.  Lord, I pray that you know the desires of my heart, and I will continue to have faith. I will set my standards to be those You have given me. Please help me realize that I am good enough for a man of God! God help me grow past all my insecurities from all those years ago.

Amen
