      Princess Warrior Father God, I pray that You would draw Your daughter closer to Yourself, through Your Son Jesus Christ, by the power of Your Holy Spirit. I ask and pray for this breakthrough to happen Father in Jesus name. Father, lead her into the secret place, show her what true intimacy with You looks like, that she would be immersed in Your presence, and saturated by Your love. Father God, I pray for a hedge of protection to surround her, that Your angels would come and minister to her, and that Your Holy Spirit would teach her, lead her and guide her, in Jesus name! Amen!

      Princess Warrior Try asking God for His Grace to walk this thing out. Sometimes, when we’re struggling, it may be a sign that we’re trying to accomplish something in our own strength. 😉👍🏽

    When I came across you on You Tube, my life changed. I was a Christian, but not so close to Jesus. I have read your books, listened to your many videos and drew nearer to God with your instrumentals playing. It’s like you opened up a different world to me. My life with Jesus is now beautiful and wonderful. I long for His kisses, which are so sweet. I guess I never really was taught about our closeness to Him. Not like this. I am so grateful to you, Eric, for all of your media and efforts. I know I am not the only one. So very thankful for you. Truly. ♥️

    Eric, was so encouraged by this message tonight. I prayed yesterday whilst basking in the rays of sun shining through my window and I felt God was saying this is what I am like; light, warmth, joy, peace, comfort. I've been praying for Him to draw nearer and your message confirmed He spoke to me in that moment so I will continue drawing closer with confidence He is with me❤️

    How do you approach being scattered in your mind during times of waiting on God? I really try to focus on him but my mind constantly wanders off. Is there a practical way of growing in that?

    • @kathyhockenberry8330
      @kathyhockenberry8330 6 років тому +5

      Use verses from the Bible to help you focus. If you find your mind wondering, stop and refocus on a Scripture. I used to "wander" in thought very easily. Philippians 4:8 is a great help: And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

    • @mm.4562
      @mm.4562 6 років тому +4

      Hallo! I would suggest taking a journal or notebook and writing those thoughts down. It's like you're transferring those thoughts from your head to a piece of paper. My Pastor says that sometimes it could be the LORD speaking to you (maybe reminding you of things you need to do and forgot to do) and it's good to write those things down. Another suggestion is to refocus by asking Holy Spirit to help you. God bless you!

    • @timg5603
      @timg5603 4 роки тому +1

      I don't know if you're still struggling but I've found that simply offering those wandering thoughts to god have actually helped me. Instead if avoiding them I simply offer them to god with faith that no matter what they are, they are pleasing to him

    Dear God, please find me here waiting for you. I have strayed away, I can feel the difference and my heart desires to be where we once were. Please here me out Lord, please light the fire, the fire that always gave me a reason to light up and find purpose in my life. Mary Magdalene and Mary mother of Jesus went early in the morning to the tomb yet they didnt know who would roll the stone away. Monday morning when Jesus resurrected, they found that the stone had been rolled way and Jesus had resurrected.The same way I'll keep turning up and I know that the stone will be rolled. Like Jesus met with them and told to go tell the disciples, I believe I will see Jesus come alive in me again.
    Amen
