Open Your Heart – Watch God Work
Here is an excerpt from Jane Hansen Hoyt Today. Watch Him Work
Something that I feel is important is to bring all of our expectations to the Lord. Bring them to the foot of the cross. It's simply laying down your life and opening your heart. An open heart is key. Open your heart and let God flow in – out with people, and circumstances, and things. Don't try to control it all. Yield up control and let Him know that you know He's in control. His heart for you is always good, and His desire for you is to grow up into Christ, to be like Christ in all ways.
We don't always do that. We all have places in our hearts that He's working on. Yield your life, yield your circumstances, yield your entire being to God, and let Him have control. Let go in a new way and watch Him work. It's fun, it's interesting, to see what God will do over and above you. It makes you realize how much He cares about every nuance, every aspect of your life. He's working for you, not against you. Just let Him work. Watch Him work.
- Lord, I rest in Your plans. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
- Thank You for the power of Your Spirit Who does more in me and through me than I can even imagine. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Ephesians 3:20
- Lord, I present my whole heart before you – all my desires, all my hurts, all my joys. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14

Our prophetic words are our history given in advance. From the moment they are spoken, they belong to us and must become as real in our hearts as they are in the heart of God.

A Note and A Prayer
How do I pray today? Do you ever wonder about that? I do! I knew how to pray about the situations I was facing yesterday, but suddenly I’m in a new set of circumstances. I find myself facing new challenges. The world has changed, and I have changed. Those changes have brought problems and issues that challenge how I pray!
Now, I need to know how to pray in a way that is relevant and powerful for the issues of today. God hasn’t changed! His Word hasn’t changed. I just need to step into a higher level of understanding and power for today’s situations. In Matthew 6 the disciples asked Jesus, “Lord, teach us to pray.” I’ve thought about the disciples who asked that question. These were good Jewish men who had been taught to pray from childhood. They already prayed every day, and yet they asked Jesus to teach them to pray.
Perhaps they were thinking, “Everything as we’ve known it has changed. Now, we need to know how to pray today in a way that speaks to those changes.” This is an important question. When facing a new situation, Graham Cooke has taught us to ask two questions: “What does this mean, and what must we do?” Could I add a third question to that? How do I pray today?
Lord, we are facing things in the world today that can seem so perplexing. We know that You alone provide the solutions and the grace to go through troubling times. Yet, sometimes, we just don’t know how to pray in a way that aligns our hearts with Yours. Would You show us how to rise to higher levels of knowing You and following You? Would You teach us how to pray in fresh, relevant ways that release the fullness of Christ into our lives and into the circumstances we face? Lord, teach us to pray today.
God bless you as you pray,
Nancy McDaniel
