Today was just like any other morning, or so I thought. I have been praying for God to show me how to be more patient, intentional when I listen, to be slow to respond, to change my heart in certain areas and to change Sofia’s heart.
Let me give you some background, so you can have a better picture. I am a morning person, but Sofia on the other hand is not. She is fussy in the morning and sometimes it can be a challenge to get her ready, fed, and out the door. I will be honest, some days it’s stressful, hard, and I feel defeated. I would ask God “what am I doing wrong?” and He has been working in my heart, He showed me ask for me to change her heart. “More over Ruth you need to change your posture to Me alone, and when you feel overwhelmed in these moments call out to me I am here.”
Today God spoke to me through my 4 year old daughter Sofia. She was fussy and not wanting to eat her breakfast and then she said I need to pray. These were her words today ” Dear Jesus, thank you for this food and I ask that you help me and change my heart.”
I literally had tears streaming down my face as I am finishing getting ready. In that moment, that quiet, moment God said “Ruth, see I am already at work in Sofia’s life. You have to trust me and I know that I am the One who can change her life.”
This is a moment I will cherish, and I plan to journal as God’s fingerprints are pressing on my daughter’s heart. God can use your child to minister to you and He shows Himself to you in that one still moment.
This is my prayer today” Lord, thank you for touching Sofia’s heart today, You are already at work in her life, and I thank you for showing yourself to me this morning. Lord may I be reminded that You can speak to Sofia and You are already at work in our lives. May I be obedient and listen to Your direction. Thank you for this moment today, one that I will cherish always.
Amen.”
