What Are Your Dreams?
August 3, 2009
by Sandi Sanford
If you’re like me there’s no end to them. Maybe you yearn for a specific career or ministry. Maybe your dream is simply to live in peace and be loved. Maybe it is something you have never spoken aloud.
We all have dreams. But how do we make them come true?
Do we work hard enough or attend the right schools? Do we go to the right places to meet the right people? Do we connive and scheme, plot and plan?
Nothing I did made my dreams come true. I know because there were many things I tried to make happen that didn’t. Looking back, I can see those that have come true were a result of one powerful practice. It was my secret weapon –
PRAYER
.
I can point to specific successes in my career that I can only attribute to prayer. I can’t tell you how many times I stopped to pray and difficult situations worked out right before my eyes. There are few things as sobering as realizing you are not the creator of your own universe or the granter of your own wishes.
I am living one of my dreams right now. Meeting my husband and becoming a Mom were answers to prayer. Being able to stay at home to raise my children is another.
What are you praying for right now? James 5:16 …The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
