Years ago I prayed daily for God to increase my territories…when asking this I really had no idea what I was asking…I just knew I was not doing all that I could. So day after day I prayed to God for enlarged territories.
After a couple of years of this particular prayer my life took a definitive change. After years of marriage I became single…struggling with grief and loss I learned to live alone, cultivate girlfriends, but most importantly I learned to grow as a Christian.
I joined a women’s Bible study, began journaling to God and Jesus Christ on a daily basis and turned my life to our Lord in a personal and up close relationship. I never thought about my life expanding, yet that is what God was doing…enlarging my territories.
It is a joy to live my life for our Lord and nothing but great things have happened along the way. Now that does not mean I have not had many challenging times too, but my trust is totally in our Lord and I do not go crazy with worry or stress.
I thank God daily for enlarging my territories; what I didn’t realize at first…when beginning with this prayer…you must be pruned in order to be enlarged…and you must be prepared for the pruning as it will be difficult at times, however the end product is a life lived with God.
Isaiah 40:31 Those who wait for the Lord shall change and renew their strength…they shall lift their wings and mount up as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.
What a joyful life we are given when opening our heart, as we allow God to change and use us. Pray for enlarged territories, a personal life with Jesus and be prepared for the greatest experience of your life.
Smiles & Blessings,
