The Power of Prayer and Understanding

It has been many moons since I have reflected on the writings of Beth Moore in her book, "So Long, Insecurity". The truth is I wanted to carry you with me on the journey but Chapter 9 is a prayer. Actually it is a heart felt confession and supplication before God where we asked Him to "Make a miracle out of us" in renting us from the hands of insecurity.  This prayer of pressing to the throne of God is drenched in thanksgiving and praise for what God has already done in us and will do. What happened in Chapter 9 is that God pinned through Beth a prayer I desperately needed to pray almost without need for alteration or addition.  This is a prayer that you have to personally experience for yourself. So let me say what I haven't said but have only implied... BUY THE BOOK! Let me say it again... BUY THE BOOK!

As I continued to read on  after the prayer, Beth discusses the truth that Men have insecurities as well.  This truth helped me to see men better.  I think I have the tendency to think that men are rarely insecure which is true but more than that is they get off easy.  But they did not get off easy, matter-of-fact, society's expectations on men kicks their butts too and should promote a system of support and compassion in us for them.  Who needs our compassion and support? Our Brothers and Fathers, our male friends and male cousins and nephews, our spouses and our boy friends... they all do.  I have learned that we have got to support them in their journey and not be so caught up in our own.  The truth is we have prayed and now we are walking out the process of deliverance because "this is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.  And if we know He hears us--whatever we ask--we know that we asked of Him. ((1 John 5:14-15)).  Now because we are delivered from our insecurity we should help others to get to where He alone has redeemed us to.

That's a good word isn't it?!! BUY THE BOOK!!!
