OBSTACLES
Today's reading: Jeremiah 6:1-7:26, Philippians 1:1-26, Proverbs 8:1-11

"Therefore, this is what the Lord says: I will put obstacles in my people's path..." Jeremiah 6:21 NLT

It may sound funny, sad or downright mean, but I am an 'obstacles pray-er'.

I am one of those gals who asks God to place obstacles in my path, and in the paths of those I am praying for, that will direct them away from things that are not in God's will.

Away from things that will distract them from His path for their lives.

From things that will take their focus off Him.

From things that will lead from thought to temptation to sin to a separation between Him and them.

I ask for those obstacles in love.

Because I know how easily obstacles stop us and slow us down long enough to think about just where it was we were headed anyway.
