We are all destined for greatness. I believe that is true. Perhaps, you are in a season where you are finding it hard to remember that- or believe it.
Like the birds of the air, who search for food when they are hungry, so it is with us. I believe perhaps we are searching for spiritual nourishment. Now, I know the birds do not worry about where their next meal comes from, but we do. Yet, God cares for us more than the birds of the air.
I’ve created a new routine in my life- wherever I want God to show up, to make a difference, to intervene, I have decided something. I pray. I pray over that space, I pray over the people. Some days, it can be lengthy; some days, it is short and sweet.
“God, may you heal this person’s heart, God may you bless their day, may you provide their needs, and most of all, may they lean on you,” and this could go on for a while. Or, I say “God, may you bless this person,” and that’s all.
The thing is- God is on the move. People seem to think God is distant, or that He lives in cathedrals made of stone. The truth is, He lives in my heart, and wants to live in all of ours.
Just plant seeds of greatness wherever you are. You want a new job? “God, may you use me, while I am here, and provide a new job for me.” God may grant your request, or maybe the seed of greatness starts with you and expands into a tree. The branches expand and hit other people until they, too, are intertwined with God’s goodness. The roots would take their place in the hearts of those you are looking to plant seeds of greatness in. Because like the little pig, who built his house out of brick, we, too, need a solid foundation.
You want your family to be healed? “God- may you heal our family, may you provide a way, where there seems to be no way.”
You want change? “God- foster change in this situation.”
You want provision? “God- I know you are my provider- so God, may you provide!”
“God, you can change my circumstances- but if you do not, I will praise you in the storm! God, thank you for Your goodness, for your provision, your comfort, your Son!, God, you are so, so, so good. I do not deserve you, I could not earn you, but you sent your Son to provide a way, to return to you. Forgive me, Father, for not trusting You, forgive me, for not believing You, forgive me for my small faith. Father, thank you for every good gift in my life that you have given me. Thank you for your provision- thank you for my job. my home, my car, my friends, and my family. God, I ask you to provide for my needs, the needs of my family, and may you bless my family. May you bless my friends, may you bless my workplace. There are people struggling today- may You, God, provide and comfort those individuals. May you give them peace.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
That is my prayer for seeds of greatness for people in my life. It really is a minuscule example, and God is so great, and He knows our hearts, and He can multiply what we ask for if He wants to.
I pray that you would find seeds of greatness within you and may the seeds be watered and grow. Bless you.
