Just Don't Be Boring...Okay?! #findapassion

Hi! I hope all is well with you. :) I've recently been welcomed into a new kind of prayer, and with that, a new revelation of words. I know not if the thoughts God put in my heart during prayer this past evening will rejoin me now and be put into words for you. But, I'm here, because I hope it will. God is so good to me....I can't tell you the many incredible doors he's opened up for me. I'm learning a lot lately. I'm remembering how to pray with passion. Of course I've never not cared about what I pray about. But, lately I've been finding things that I really do care about to pray for. Several months ago...H2O had a prayer meeting. It was a small group, probably only ten or fifteen of us had shown up. But, a mighty move of God took place....as usual. :) I had been in a bit of a dry patch spiritually. Not that I wasn't praying, but I didn't feel like I was growing or going anywhere. I was kinda just there when I was supposed to and only focused when I really needed to be. I hadn't really realized until very recently, that I didn't have very much passion about the things in my life...if I had any at all. I used to think I was going to be a famous author or artist or something. But, I had/have been in a funk as of late. I couldn't get into it as much as I used to, so I thought maybe it wasn't me. During that prayer meeting, Bro Donnie told us to pick two things that we wanted to see happen before the end of the year. He had all of us say them out loud, and we prayed for each one as a group. I am ashamed to say, that I don't think I have asked for what I asked for that night ever before. But, I asked for a passion for souls. I always thought I was going to be somebody who was just a help on the inside of the church I thought I would help the people who already knew God, but needed deeper growth. But for whatever reason, God put the thought of souls in my head. We prayed together about it, people laid hands on me, then we moved on to the next person. I didn't feel anything too amazing, but I could feel the passion of my youth leaders as they spoke a love for souls over my life. Since then, I feel like a different person. It wasn't a dramatic or quick change, it was something that started out small, and has slowly grown into the thing that I think about almost constantly. Since then, God has opened so many doors for me to be around people and to start witnessing. I got a better job! One where I am constantly surrounded by people who need God. I wouldn't have been so sensitive to these peoples' souls before...but, I can't stop praying for them! I think about every single one of my Co workers every day, and it kills me that they aren't with me at church yet. I see them, and I feel like I'm seeing them as more than just normal people. I'm growing to care for every one of them...I see pain on some of them,and all I wanna do is tell then about the love of Good! Though, we are in the people business, and they all try to keep smiles on their faces, I can feel that every one of then are dealing with something different. And I've decided to make it my mission to do everything I possibly can to take care of that for them. I can't even sit down to pray without them coming to my mind and consuming my thoughts. I want them here so desperately! I want them saved, I want them filled with the Holy Ghost! I want them to be sitting on the pews with me, and I want to see tears of joy and love stream down their faces. I want to witness every one of them and their families being filled with the Holly Ghost and speaking in tongues in Jesus name. I don't think I can stop praying until I see it all happen. I've developed such a burden and a desire to see them saved, that I know these words don't explain it. I just want to see all of then saved. Because of this, such a passion has taken over my prayer life. Not only have I spent more time in intercession, I've been falling in love with Jesus all over again. I find myself not being able to wait to get into His presence again. I find a deeper love, every time I kneel down. I'm more sensitive to His spirit, and I found it more easy and desirable to dive into His word. All this change, and all this power...just from one small request for a personal love for souls. Find a passion. Find something to drive you and motivate you t to be better. Find something to love, some burden to carry. Find something to put passion in your walk with God! Find something to produce fruit. Pray for a love for what He loves. Pray for a love for something...just, don't be boring, okay!
