Question?

I am up late. Yes, I am a college student so that is somewhat the norm. Tonight is different, and I've been picking up on it all day. I've started seeing a trend- that I write at night.

THE best part of being in a relationship with Christ is communicating with Him. Worship was always my link to Christ, but over the last year or so I would say that that link has shifted into a relationship of studying and devotion. Having said that, I've started recognizing when God's trying to get His point across to me. And for whatever reason I'm usually reluctant to listen (even the good, happy stuff! I'm hoping my stubbornness is only a phase).

Today has been one of THOSE days, where I really want to know what God has to tell me, but I want to put it off all day. Instead, I fill my brain with a million other thoughts or television shows to keep me distracted.

Anyways, I picked up a copy of Steven Furtick's Sun Stand Still last week (quick commentary- GET THE BOOK). I spent my early afternoon reading this book, and thoroughly enjoying it, but I refused to think too deeply about it simply because that would take a lot of spiritual evaluation.
Well, instead of thinking I've been distracting myself and STILL this question keeps gnawing at me....

"What can I do for you?"

You see, Furtick's book is about living with audacious faith. Seeing the impossible, and asking God to do it, believing that He is completely capable. The first step in this is identifying what you consider impossible and what you want to see God do (like make the Sun Stand Still, catchy, huh?). Have a clear vision.

I feel very strongly that God wants me to tell Him what miracle I need Him to do in my life..
See why I have put this off all day?
How do I nail down what I want God to do most, what seems most impossible to me?

Fix my broken relationships? Stabilize my finances? Help me pass chemistry?
(the last one was a bad joke, sorry)

I'm not going to tell you what Sun Stand Still moment I've requested of God, but I have no doubt He is going to do what I ask and exceed my expectations.

So now I'm passing the challenge onto you.
What can God do for you? Do you have the confidence and humility to ask it of Him?
