:: The Truth that God has laid out before us in His Word - is in itself healing, when you put it into action.
There are many things that I bring to the Lord. Things that I desire, situations that need healing, change, restoration, and dreams that I hope for in my future. While all of this is great, and God does indeed hear what we bring before Him, I sense God specifically asking me to respond differently now. I'm being asked to go beyond the simplicity of bringing these things before Him in prayer.
While all of these prayers of mine are indeed valid to God, He cultivates and ignites the remedy to all my prayers when I get off my bum and live how He has called me to live.
That's how profound and flawless God's calling is on His people's lives.
When you dive into the calling itself, it provokes restoration and healing.
I always had the two things separated in my head until now. I've often thought that God would do an awesome work of healing my heart, restoring me to a pure and righteous woman while in an entirely different situation would continue His calling in my life as His disciple. I'm seeing that they hold hands.
That's astounding to me. The Truth that God has laid out before us in His Word
- is in itself healing, when you put it into action.

- restoration is inevitable.
I like that.
I could really resonate with the "getting off my bum" scenario. I really need to be actively pursuing the Lord's calling upon my life not only through prayer but also through "Christ centered laborious doing." Thanks for your insight. Great piece.
