I’m beginning to understand how easily our dreams get blocked. I like to declare my independence, my bravery, my persistence, but I am a fragile creature living in an upside down, inside out world from what it was intended to be. Sometimes the unpredictable patterns of life are too harsh, and shutting doors on dreams is the easiest way to deal the pain.
When Jonathan was first diagnosed with malignant tumors I began asking God a lot of questions about healing. For fifteen years I prayed for a miraculous healing from his benign tumor, but it only progressed. I was learning—I still am learning—that intercession is coming into agreement with God’s heart on an issue rather than me praying my will into existence.
