It rose up out of my spirit as I was praying. I knew it didn't come from my intellect because I would have never thought to pray this.
The words carried such power. It's like the atmosphere shifted whenever I said...
Lord, take us from a place of working for You to working WITH You.
One word changed my whole perspective.
Up to that point, I had found great joy working for the Lord. I was happy to be His servant. But He wanted more.
God wanted to be more than my boss. He wanted to be my Father.
Where I used to wake up every day and ask the Lord what He wanted me to do, now I simply say, "Lord, I'm so grateful to be with You today, for without You, I am nothing. Let's do this together."
This simple shift makes you aware of His presence in every moment. He has always been there, but we must make ourselves aware by working with the Lord, rather than for the Lord.
