Katie's prayer: Hillsong United's "The Time Has Come"

All we are is Yours
And all we’re living for
Is all You are
Is all that You are


Tonight was XLT at St. Gabes. Of course I went, had to get some Jesus time in! Like always, there’s this struggle going on between what Katie wants and what God wants. Tonight, I did less of ‘demanding that what I want is what should happen’, and more of ‘God show me why I can’t get what I want.’ Amazingly enough, God answered that prayer! (Odd how He never answered my demands.) The answer - wait. It’s always wait. I got a little fed up with that answer tonight. ‘Wait, til when?! Why?!’ Got an answer to that prayer too! I’m more focused on me than I am on God. I’m more focused on the thoughts of others than I am on God. I’m more focused on my to do list than I am on God. Things can’t start going the way I want until I realize that all I am is God’s, until I really am living just for God, and God alone. Something that’s easier said than done.
