God Has A Plan for You In 2012

The 11th month has passed and the 11th year is coming to a close.  And with it, all of the disappointment and despair that came along.  Biblically speaking, the number 11 symbolically represents disorganization.  Essentially, it manifests in the form of chaos.  Many have felt the pressures of 2011 and have been tested and tried like never before.  However, we are now in the 12th month and approaching, with haste, the 12th year.  Biblically speaking, the number 12 symbolically represents completeness and perfection (specifically in government).  Essentially it manifests in the form of order - all things being as they ought or was purposed to be.  God knows exactly how 2011 played out in your life.  It may appear the things that happened, the people that came and went, and the situations that kept you on your knees...were attacks of your enemy.  But I believe God had to do some re-arranging to align you with his purpose and will for your life.  God has a plan for you in 2012.  One that will exceed your expectations.  The winds of change are blowing!  Can't you feel it?!   

Prayer Changes Things

Sometimes we say things so much until it seems cliche'.  But, prayer really does change things.  There are times when we can do or say things to change our situations.  And then there are times when it doesn't matter what we do - the situation IS what it IS and we've got to learn to place it in the hands of the Lord!  Prayer will help us to accept those things we cannot change.  Even when we pray, things may not be what we want them to be.  But, we can be who we need to be until the change comes.  Prayer can add such a peace to our lives and be to us what the Bible says - that peace that surpasses all understanding.  Even in the midst of what appears to be chaos, it can guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  So, let prayer be the change in your life today.  Maybe the thing that needs to be changed is you!
