Praying from different viewpoints

Have you ever had to pray for someone that you know is not in God's Will. First you have to ask the Holy Spirit to compel them to be honest before Him . What kind of friend asks for the blaze of the Spirit to eat out the darkness? One who has been in the dark seeking a way out and found out later those who loved me were praying for me to be shown not comfort but the truth. Which shoe are you wearing now?

Its funny I was just leaving a comment and God brought to my mind someone who needs some truth over comfort right now. This person has caused me some distress and was one of the reason I left the church I was teaching at. I felt God say I want you to pray for all, not just the ones who bring you comfort but the ones who bring you discomfort as well. I love this person and want to see her back on track with God and becoming the beautiful woman of God I know she was created to be but I guess I need to get over some harsh feeling first. I love that the God who made the entire world can use something like a blog to speak to me.

I have worn both shoes. I have learned that the truth will set you free but usually is going to hurt a little or alot. I have someone very close to me who is denying the God who created him and I struggle to know what to pray when it comes to this situation. But this gives me a start. I know there where so many times in my life that I walked the other way instead of towards the arms of Jesus so I know the emptiness that comes along with that decision. But on the bright (God is the light) side I also know the redeeming quality when you choose Him. Great blog! I look forward to seeing more from you!
