“I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.”

― Martin Luther

There are some people who have bigger things to handle in life. Maybe it is the fact that you are the leader of your family so that means you can’t slack off. Maybe it means that you have much financial obligation so you have to make different choices than those around you. Maybe you are gifted in an area that seems rare to those around you, so you have to walk being misunderstood but still at peace that you are following what you know in your heart to do.

When you are blessed with big blessings, you are also blessed with bigger obstacles. You have to realize that you are on another realm than those around you and you must act in accordance to what your life requires.

Many things that we view as obstacles in our lives are really our miracles in disguise. Many times a broken family is a family that comes back together and has a unique ability to connect and understand each other because they once went through the worst together and aren’t willing to let each other go again. Many times living so long with a poverty mentality and all the effects that it brings with it becomes a miracle when the person finally learns how to turn it around and operate from a place of blessing. Do you get my drift?

My goal is to help people understand that their life, no matter what it is, is really just a miracle in disguise. If you have a lot of obstacles, you really just have a lot of blessing. This means, you may need deeper prayer in order to navigate through your blessings into the realm you are headed. Everything in life is happening just like it is supposed to. Life doesn’t usually rise to meet us, usually we rise to meet it head on and things are shaped by the things we do.

It was Martin Luther King who said, “I have so much to do, I spend the first three hours in prayer.” I have no doubt that for his life, he needed to do that. The obstacles were great to perform the calling on his life, but prayer was a shield, a navigator, and constant reminder that he would get to where he was going with God on his side.

A life with a lot of obstacles, can sometimes become a weight upon peoples shoulders if they aren’t willing to take responsibility for it, stop feeling sorry for themselves and simply do but it requires for success. The life we have is given to us for a reason. We can either learn to walk in victory or continue to complain that it isn’t like someone else’s, not watering our lives with the value of recognizing its fruits or we can bravely take on the life that was given to us and turn it into a beautiful arena of God’s love.
