What is the Story of Your Life?

Mark Batterson writes in The Circle Maker, “Who you become is determined by how you pray.  Ultimately the transcript of your prayers becomes the script of your life.”  

“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”  Jeremiah 33:3

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7

“I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer.” Psalm 17:6

How do you want the story of your life to be written?  How, then, will you pray?

Oh God,
I want to live the life You dream for me.  I no longer want to limit myself by small thoughts and small prayers.  I want to run the race of this life with passion and dreams.  Write them upon my heart.  Unfold them step by step.  And, when I put limits upon myself, break them...  shatter them...  demolish them.  I want what You want.  Thank you that Your dreams are bigger than mine.  Your thoughts and ways are much higher.  And, they are good and perfect.  You are the Author and Perfecter of my faith.

My Child,
Dream big.  I have given you dreams in your heart.  Will you give them back to me? Will you place them before me?  Will you pray through them?  Will you seek My face in them?  Will you seek My will?

For I am able to bring them to pass.  I am able to do more than what you can ever ask for or imagine.  I am God Almighty.

Dream big.  Pray big.  I will not give you everything you ask for.  But, I will meet every need you have.  And, I will fulfill amazing plans that I have for you.
