What Breaks Your Heart?

It is early in the morning, and I need to get ready for work, but I want to ask you to pray and ponder with me: have you asked God lately to break your heart for what breaks His? I have been praying that since June after studying Kelly Minter's Nehemiah Bible study with a wonderful group of women at Trinity Methodist Church in Conway. Nehemiah's heart was broken for the city of Jerusalem and its people, and God enabled him to do the miraculous. God is still in the business of doing the miraculous today when we give Him our hands and feet and ask the question: what is it, God, that breaks Your heart? What would you have me do? If you think, "Well, I can't do anything by myself," you may be right. But one person -- with God -- can do the impossible. And the other question we must ask is this: God, what are you already doing in my community, my workplace, or my world that You would have me join? Often, God is already at work around us, and when we ask these two questions, He will be faithful to direct us to the work He has in store, and He will give us the supernatural ability to make a difference. So ask yourself: God, what is breaking Your heart today that should break mine, and what would you have me do about it? Please pray this with me in the coming days -- every day. I believe a mighty move of God is coming in our community . . . healing rain.
