So Be It
“A-a-a-men. Hallelujah! A-a-a-men.
Hallelujah! A-a-men. Amen.
Amen. Do you know what “amen” means? It is so.
So be it. Verily. Truly. We end our prayers with Amen. Literally, it would be an acknowledgement of
God’s ability to transform the prayers for His will into the reality of His
will. After taking stock of how you are
doing spiritually, you might have a better idea of what you would like to be a
reality of God’s will in your life. Do
you need to grow in patience, humility, grace, self-control, perseverance,
thankfulness…?
One of the
beauties of being a part of God’s family, is that we are not alone. Others who are also pursuing Jesus—in truth,
not just word—will sincerely desire your good growth, and can walk alongside
for both encouragement and help. A
tradition we began a few years ago was praying specific verses for each of
those who attend our Bible study. We
would love to be doing that again, so now we want each of you to choose at
least one verse that relates to an area in which you desire to grow.
List some
verses that speak to “how you are doing spiritually”. Write them on some note cards place them
where you will see and read them often.
Choose one that you would like us to be praying for you, and we will do
just that. J
The verses which especially speak to where I am right now:
