Go forward!

“And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.” — Exodus 14:15

Sometimes we pray as if God doesn’t hear us because we have not received the answer we want. Or, the distress of the situation is so heavy we are unable to exercise our faith by moving to action.

Radical Acceptance is accepting your reality “exactly as it is, imperfect.” Practicing Radical Acceptance can prevent us from becoming entangled with painful and unhelpful emotions. When we resist our reality it can lead to immense internal struggle. “Accepting difficult situations can lead you away from pain and into peace.”

Radical Acceptance can help us in our prayer life as well. When we take the reality of a situation to God [not an expectation of perfection or how we prefer things to be] we are able to leave that situation at the altar. It is that act of faith of “giving it to God,” that leads us away from pain into our deliverance.”

“When we have prayed over a matter to a certain degree, it then becomes sinful to tarry any longer; our plain duty is to carry our desires into action, and having asked God’s guidance, and having received divine power from on high, to go at once to our duty without any longer deliberation or delay.” (Charles Spurgeon)

It’s time to leave the situation at the altar and move forward.
