I heard a sermon on Psalm 132:3-5
"I will not go home; I will not let myself rest. I will not let my eyes sleep nor close my eyelids in slumber until I find a place to build a house for the Lord, a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel."
Being one who cannot resist sleep when overtaken by sleepiness I asked Father how this scripture would apply to me. What is He asking of me through these words?
Several years ago my son Jonathan turned a small storage room into a prayer room as a Christmas gift to me. I have spent time praying over many issues in that prayer room. However, in the empty nesting of my home I have found that any place in the home is a sanctuary of quietness, so the prayer room has become a place where I would go when I needed to pray about things that really bothered me.
Otherwise, my prayer time has been where I am very comfortable.
I believe God is calling me to my prayer cave...to be on my knees... crying out to Him...talking to Him...Listening to Him!
I am going to go back to making the prayer room a daily place to meet my Father! I am going to make sure I seek Him in deep earnestness until I am sure my heart is a true sanctuary for Him.
The pictures in the slide show below are of the prayer room. I added music to the slide show and decided NOT to cut the music at the end of the slide show. I hope you can enjoy the song as I do!
