Are You Praying for a Place?

Have you been praying for God to take you to the next place?

Maybe you feel as though He’s leading you somewhere new, but you’re not quite sure where.

Could I offer you a different perspective?

Maybe God is not leading you to that particular place just yet.

Perhaps He wants you to lie down first- to lie down in green pastures.

Green pastures for perspective.

Green pastures for vision.

Green pastures for stabilization.

Green pastures for peace and prayer.

Green pastures for recovery and restoration.

Green pastures for you to delight in His presence and discover something He wants to share. He is the Shepherd after all.

Yes, He is your Good Shepherd. He leads you beside still waters. He makes you lie down in green pastures.

Oh, I know it’s hard. You want the decision to be made. You want details sorted out. You want to know the place. But there is something for you in the pasture- something you need to take with you into the next place. So don’t skip the pasture part. Choose with all your heart to lie down instead.

Friend, while you wait for the place, won’t you lie down in the pasture?

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalm 23:1-6 NIV
