Last night at our Easter celebration service, we were standing and singing, "How Great is Our God." As I sang, I did what I usually do: sway (b/c my stomach is too heavy for me to simply just stand!) and rub my belly (b/c she is usually really excited when we are attending worship at church!). As I was singing, I started doing something else I usually do as I worship: I prayed the song we were singing over our baby girl.
Last night, as not only my voice, but my heart, sang "How Great is Our God", I began praying this over Evie Grace. My prayer became so much more than just how great our God truly is! I began praying that Evie Grace would KNOW and SERVE HIM, wholeheartedly; I prayed that through her life, others would see and sing about how great He is; and then, as I was praying all of this, I prayed that regardless of what her life held, that Alan and I would always say, How Great is Our God, because He is, and life's circumstances don't change that! I thought about how, graciously, He has given her to us for 37 weeks already, and what a precious and sweet gift that has been. I thought about how she has been given to us for this time, and that we aren't guaranteed another minute with her, but the Lord has graciously blessed us with yet, another day! My prayer became a focus time that regardless of the good times that we have with her, or the bad times, HE is WORTHY of ALL PRAISE, and I prayed that Alan and I would always, regardless of the situation, be faithful to PRAISE our GREAT God!
I pray that you take time to reflect on how truly great our God is, and also reflect on how precious life is, each and every day that it is given!
