Last year on this day I posted this prayer. He answered in all of the ways I never expected. This is the mystery and the adventure of walking with Jesus. Walking with Jesus doesn’t always guarantee a seat at most tables, a comfortable life, or a problem free existence.

A dear friend would tell me …Em, you’re anointed for the struggle. I must admit that I don’t always want to be, but I surrender to his plan not mine. So, again, I pray this prayer knowing I don’t walk alone, never, no not ever.

Happy New Year! May you be blessed to be a blessing and may your surrender be a sweet fragrance to Jesus.

Yes, Lord.
I will go where You want me to go.
I will speak what You want me to speak.
I will pause when You want me to pause.
I will pray the dangerous prayers of change.
I will ask to be inconvenienced for Your name sake.
I will say yes to Your invitations that make no sense.
I will. Just because You ask me to. {Lysa Terkeurst}

Yes, Lord, yes!
