28 Day Prayer Journey To Passion 07 - Day 20

Day 20. Expecting?

God loves the expectant heart. He loves it when we come to Him in faith. He is never intimidated by our hopes and dreams. He is not daunted by the size of our prayers.

Yet, so often we approach Him with such little aspiration. We pray as though we might easily tire Him or deplete His supply. We come to worship, but we always seem to “know” just what’s going to happen. We don’t expect the unexpected…a sad commentary for those of us who believe that God can do anything. Anything!

So as we come to Atlanta, let’s come with massive expectations. Not that He will do some specific thing we desire (although we can make our very specific requests known to Him at any time), but that He will meet us there. We can believe...and we should arrive at Passion 07 with sky-high hopes. We are coming to worship the God of all Creation.

God, increase my faith. I praise You because there is nothing too difficult for You. You never run dry. You do not sleep or slumber. Father, heighten my sense of who You are, expand my anticipation of what You are doing all around me and give me a greater capacity to believe You for all that is to come.

Make us expectant as we meet You. Help us cast away little faith, safe prayers, apathetic hearts, thinking “the usual," the fear of not having our expectations met. Blow up our view of You. Surprise us. Undo us. Amaze us again. Leave us speechless. Show us Jesus. Amen.

“Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by You, says the Lord.” Jeremiah 29:12-14a
