The Last Drop

Given November 23, 2002
“….my cup runneth over.” Psalm 23:5. God spoke to my mind this day concerning our prayers. We may pray for something day after day, week after week and not see any results of those prayers. It may be for someones salvation, a healing, or victory over some stronghold in our lives but nothing seems to be happening. I’m telling you DON’T GIVE UP!

God showed me our prayers are like drops in a vessel. Each drop raises the level in the container a little higher, and a little higher, but we don’t realize it. Eventually, on God’s schedule, that last drop, that maybe, hundred & forty-second prayer is the one that causes the vessel to overflow! Then…we see the results, the answer, to our prayers. Each drop, each prayer, is doing something. They’re going toward the fullfillment of what we’re praying for.

Oh brothers and sisters, how many times have we stopped praying in frustration when we were only a few drops away? God, forgive us for our lack of faith! Whatever it is you’ve been praying for, don’t give up. You may be one drop away! “….my cup runneth over.”
