For the past 30 Days MJ and I have started out each day (most of the time) with a simple prayer, “Surprise Me, God.” This 30-Day Faith Experiment has not turned out as I expected. I figured that God would “show up” more often and in more pronounced ways that He did. So I’ve learned—once again—that…
§ God doesn’t “snap to” and show up more frequently or in more pronounced ways in our lives just because we decide to run an experiment as such.
§ Praying this kind of a prayer first thing in the morning puts you in a frame of mind where you’re ready and looking to see how God is working in your relationships, in your work, in your thoughts, and in your family.
§ God has His own way of handling things and working in the lives of people. I was surprised that the one neighborhood couple who formed this 30-Day group with us had just learned of an impending family crisis in their lives as we began. We didn’t know each other before we got together. But we all concluded that... "what was the chance of just the four of us getting together… at this particular moment… around this particular theme… in this particular neighborhood… only a few doors down from each other?"
I'm glad we began this 30-Day Group, for just such a time as this.
