The types of stories woven into the devotionals range from fiction movies gardening Bible stories history and personal essays. Each day the reader will walk away more informed inspired and encouraged by seeing how Gods words can be intertwined into everyday experiences much like the way a fishing net intertwines. The individualized devotional stories within this book are prayers netted together from my own personal sighs to encourage you. Each devotional is woven together to form a prayer mesh that prevents sighers like me from slipping through life without a Godly help-net. My sighs were longings about Gods timing―Lord how long must I wait? Sighs about decision-making―What shall I do? And yes sighs about daily living. The responses to my sighs are shared with Gods eye shields that restricted my wondering thoughts and gaze toward Him.It was God who shielded me from my unsteady surroundings teaching me dependency agreement and especially partnership with Him. He taught me that when my prayers are in partnership with Him my answers can be too. They have the potential of being in agreement with His purpose. In the context of science theres a similar notion of being in agreement. For instance scientists discovered that under pressure and high temperature ice water and water vapor can be presentat the same time ― indistinguishable. Its called the triple point. Imagine that! At triple point you can actually see all threesubstances thriving at the same time without dimensioning.You may think this is crazy but it reminded me of the response two blind men received when seeking Jesus for healing. In Matthew 9:28-29 (MSG) Jesus gave a thought-provoking response to their request to be healed. He said Do you really believe I can do this?. . . He touched their eyes and said Become what you believe. It happened. They saw. I would like to express it this way: Are you able to dismiss the blindness of your past the struggles of your present and entrust the outcome of your future to be in agreement with Jesus? Can you see yourself no longer as a beggar but as a valued resident? How about walking freely without any aid? In this moment it became a triple point experience between Jesus and the blind men. Agreement with Jesus says you have confidence that what He has spoken is already done. So as you read these daily devotionals let your will become indistinguishable from His.
