Another annoying thing that happens to me is, I go

[Steven Bobb]

Another annoying thing that happens to me is, I go through a spiritually uplifting experience,but although it gives me a boost,I can't savor it too long because immediately afterward a mundane(or even downright aggravating)experience follows, which"brings me back down to earth."(Could be mundane, like someone bending my ear about his experience with getting a vacuum cleaner at Walmart(which doesn't interest me, and reminds me my "spiritual experience" is over, I'm back on planet Earth.}Or even an aggravating experience,like a stressful job related experience.I see why Jesus went into the wliderness for 40 days,I might have to do similar)Then there's the constraints of time, I can only do the "uplifting experience for so long, then back to work."Prayer request is for my "highs" to last as long as I want them to, without the mundane and aggravating experience happening a nanosecond afterwards to "bring me down to earth."

*The Place of Humiliation*

_If You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us._
 —Mark 9:22

After every time of exaltation, we are brought down with a sudden rush into things as they really are, where it is neither beautiful, poetic, nor thrilling. The height of the mountaintop is measured by the dismal drudgery of the valley, but it is in the valley that we have to live for the glory of God. *We see His glory on the mountain, but we never live for His glory there. It is in the place of humiliation that we find our true worth to God— that is where our faithfulness is revealed.* Most of us can do things if we are always at some heroic level of intensity, simply because of the natural selfishness of our own hearts. But God wants us to be at the drab everyday level, where we live in the valley according to our personal relationship with Him. Peter thought it would be a wonderful thing for them to remain on the mountain, but Jesus Christ took the disciples down from the mountain and into the valley, where the true meaning of the vision was explained (see Mark 9:5-6, Mark 9:14-23).

_*"We see His glory on the mountain, but we never live for His glory there. It is in the place of humiliation that we find our true worth to God— that is where our faithfulness is revealed."*_

"If you can do anything….” It takes the valley of humiliation to remove the skepticism from us. Look back at your own experience and you will find that until you learned who Jesus really was, you were a skillful skeptic about His power. *When you were on the mountaintop you could believe anything, but what about when you were faced with the facts of the valley?* You may be able to give a testimony regarding your sanctification, but what about the thing that is a humiliation to you right now? The last time you were on the mountain with God, you saw that all the power in heaven and on earth belonged to Jesus— will you be skeptical now, simply because you are in the valley of humiliation?

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
