Prayer of Vindication

 

    Conversation is the basis of communication.  Some conversation can be exhausting.  A conversation about vindication can be exhausting for the person releasing their pain and for the person that bares it.  However, God does not get exhausted.  He doesn't get frustrated with His children being "needy".  He wants to hear all about it and you need to let it out.  He is the perfect release of anguish.  Go to Him about it in prayer.

    The world is designed to make you feel bad about being who you are.  It is easy to start believing that you deserve what is bad in your  life.  At the same time we live in an entitled culture that tells you that you are owed everything you want in life.  Both sides of the coin are the extreme.  You fit somewhere in the middle, where you need to accept that bad things happen, but without guilt, and that no one owes you anything in this world.  You exist and that is gift enough from God.

    We will not find a balance in life if we do not allow God into it.  We do need to go to Him when we need something, but that is not the only time we need to go to Him.  Let Him enjoy the pleasures in your life too.  God is not Santa Clause, so don't reduce Him to a holiday figure head, idol, or jinx proofing your life.  

    Choose to trust God and don't let that waver no matter what you experience in this world.  It is okay to go to Him and tell Him you are struggling in your faith in certain areas.  Ask Him to help you work through it.  Ask Him to reveal Himself in the mystery of the situation.  Examine your own heart to see what is blocking you.   Don't be afraid to be brutally honest with yourself.

    God will take care of the situation that needs vindication.  He will take care of healing you at the same time if you let Him.  He will give you an inner strength that you never knew existed.  He will lift you up when you are surrounded by people that want to tear you down.  He will give you stability in life.

    Surrender yourself completely to Him.  That means trust Him no matter what.  Choose to surround yourself with strong people that will help build you up and walk away from those that reject Him.  Try daily to live a life that is blameless, with integrity, and full of praise.   Thank God for what He has given you already.
