What is it that you need God to do for you? Do you need Him to heal you? Do you need Him to deliver you? Do you need for him to make a way for you? Is it a bill that needs to be paid? Is it shelter that needs to be provided? What is it that you need? Not your neighbor, not your friend, RIGHT NOW these questions are specifically for you?
Are you believing God for yourself or are you believing for others and not truly trusting that He will do the same for you? If you are going to have faith for others, make sure you also have faith for yourself. If you are going to trust God for others, make sure you are also trusting God for yourself. When you tell others not to walk in fear, make sure you are not walking in fear. When you tell others to believe that God can and will do what needs to be done, believe that He can and will do what needs to be done for you too.
God is not a man and He does not lie. What He said He will do. Yes, He wants us to pray for others but He also told us to lay "our" burdens down. He told "us" to come to Him and to ask of Him. He told "us" to trust Him and to believe Him. Understand, God's Word and His promises are not just for other people, they are for you too.
Be humble as God does what He does for you and be humble in the waiting as well but don't ever let your humility cause you to say that you are okay when you really need God to move in your life. God wants us to come humblyAND BOLDLY before His throne of grace and petition Him for what we have need of in life. To be humble means that you are not arrogant or prideful. It means that you show God respect. Make sure that as you go boldly, you also go humbly and ask God for those things that you also have need of in life.
