The Best Possible Place

I just spent two days at a prayer conference listening to a woman named Marilyn Newburg. I heard a lot of things I needed to hear again. And I heard a few things for the first time. But the most important thing that happened was that I came to blinding clarity of where I am at right now.
The Lord has asked me to put myself in the best possible place to hear Him. He's given me specific instructions as to how I am to discipline myself. And He's told me why, and what will come from it when I do. I actually know His purposes and I know what it will produce. (Perhaps not everything, but I know more than I could without revelation.) He's told me what He will do, and He has shown me my part in it.
I have been given every possible motivation and you know what I feel?
Completely paralyzed.
But I know the only way I want to go from here is forward.
So I am praying that God will strengthen me in my inner being. I do not have in me what I need in order to do His will on my own. I need His help. I need to change. I need to become. I need to yield. I need to grow.
I need prayer.
Thank you for yours.

Praying with you as we enter the Holy of Holies and receive from Him what we need.
