IHOP / KC (again)

Hi all, I just checked in at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. There are so many reasons why I'd rather not pray and why I feel unable to pray. But as simple as it this is, I get in the door here, it's late on a Friday night (after a nice 4 hour drive thanks to my dad dropping me off here), and hundreds of people are "wasting" their life on prayer. Then, some young lady is leading us in praise and says over and over and over again, "everything you do, you view in mercy." Simple truth with a beautiful melody and my heart melts. And I came in here not wanting to pray, and I glance at my watch and an hour has passed. I didn't press in and I wasn't disciplined. I just received what He has made available. And that is becoming surprisingly easier to enter into when I admit that it never is, never was, and never will be based upon my ability or righteousness, but upon His marvelous mercy which indeed, are new, all the time. I am here for this pursuit throughout August. I'll be keeping you posted. Lots of love in Him to you.
