ARISE

Thank You, thank You, thank You!
You are amazing, Lord!
You have provided all I need, created everything that is,
and promised to meet every need.
I thank You with all my heart.
You've been faithful along every path,
and I trust You for all that lies ahead.
You have called me to prayer,
and it is prayer that fills the need of my heart to minister.
Thank You for making me who You intended me to be.


You are indeed becoming, always becoming, more and more the woman I created you to be.  I love you and rejoice to see your heart thrill in My will for you.  You are not like any other, and I need you to fill your place.  Arise to your secret place with Me.  I pray always before My Father and place within your heart the needs that I want you to pray for.  We will pray together to see people redeemed, healed, and restored.

Never wonder if your time in prayer is well spent; it is never without fruit whether you directly see results or not.  Answers to prayer are My responsibility.  You can be assured that I am pleased with your offering and will perfect the prayer and answer in My way and time.  You can rejoice because you are in fellowship with Me and I keep you in perfect peace.

Be alert to the people and situations before you.  None of them are insignificant, and I am the one who has made you aware of them so you can pray.  If you need to continue in prayer I will continue to bring it to your attention.  Trust that the everyday life before you is the one of My choosing and design for you.  You are the watchman to see, to bring before Me, and to hear My heart in the parameters of your life.

This work will be done quietly, but faithfully, and we will abide together in it.  You will dwell in the land and cultivate a heart of gratitude, faithfulness, and joy as you see some of the results of your prayer.  Other fruit will be borne later, some much later, but I will be faithful and do all things well.  Let your heart settle in peace, firmly rooted in My love, overflowing with gratitude, and full of rejoicing.  Arise to your secret place with Me.
