Don't ever pray this prayer...

A while back I prayed a prayer that forever changed my life. 
I prayed for God to mold me and shape me into His image. 

And he answered my prayer. 
For the past 6 months or so God has be chiseling away.


So don't ever pray for God to mold you....
It hurts. 
It's not fun. 
I'm learning that I am further away from perfection then I had realized. 
but in my weakness God is made strong. 
And I know that in the long run it will be worth it. 
God has big plans for me. 
Bigger then I'm willing to admit sometimes. 
Bigger then I really believe. 
And I can't get there with the old me. 
I can't get there on my own at all. 
God is equipping me. 
It may hurt. 
It may be no fun, 
but a masterpiece is being formed. 

God's masterpiece. 

Don't ever pray for God to mold you...
unless you're ready for your brokenness to be made beautiful 
and to be used of God beyond what you ever deemed possible. 

Ephesians 2:10 
We are God's workmanship. 
Also read Jeremiah 18:1-11
Clay in God's hands. 


With Love, 
Ally

  2. Going thru the same trials now, but wouldn't change it either, its tough to accept on some things, but after thinking on it for a minute it is needed, change can be very hard but well worth it in the end. Thanks for sharing Ally

  4. Thank you for sharing your heart, Ally <3
    It's a marvelous thing to serve the Lord-in spirit and truth...and sometimes, that truth hurts! But, Truth will never destroy us, rather it lifts us and "molds" us into something soooo beautiful!
    Good for you, praying the hard prayer of faith and passion!
