Let my prayer requests become praise reports. That’s the prayer I prayed the week before I got laid off from work. One thing about God, He works in mysterious ways and you have to trust His plan. Who would have thought after I literally prayed for something new to happen coming off my 5 day vacation that I would be laid off from my job of 3 years? Not me! And yet, somehow I felt a weight lifted off of my spirit and inner peace instantly. Truth be told, I didn’t care for that job and it didn’t quite fit my personality and goals for myself. It just took this particular act to get me to move…divine agitation at its finest. And now I have a new job within weeks of my lay off. Someone cue the shouting music!
For the past year, I’ve been writing my “Let there be…” messages in my planner. God said those words and things came about. We have that same power of the tongue as children of God, so I’ve been consistent with the things I want to come into fruition. Funny enough, the day before I got the call that my job had been terminated, I wrote “Let there be a NEW JOB.” I actually laughed and said this was just God doing what He does and went from there. I wrote that vision quite plainly. When you ask God for something, you can’t put Him in a box and expect it a certain way. When you say any way you bless me, you have to truly trust God because He will do it His way.
I read somewhere that worry is a slap in God’s face, and I surely don’t want God to think that after all of these years of being His child, that I don’t even have a mustard seed size of faith. As a matter of fact, God has opened so many doors in my life (and my loved ones) that my faith should be beyond a mustard seed. I went from a lay off to a new job within a matter of weeks. There’s not one person that can make me doubt the power of God! If He can do it for me, I hope you know now He can do it for you too. The Lord took me out of a position that was stressful and potentially causing me to be physically ill to a new thing. Great is thy faithfulness. Keep praying for me in my new season, and I’ll surely pray for you. Note: I wrote this blog the same week I got my lay off notice, knowing in faith that I’d get a new job! Be Sweet.
Be Sweet
