2 Kings 4:8-16
My pastor preached this message, last year and I wanted to share it on TERC. The premise of the message was on this lady who was a very kind person that did for everyone but herself. A lot of us get so wrapped up in being busy caring for others or fulfilling what our parents planned for us that we forget some of the things we dreamed for ourselves.
One of the reasons why you could forget your dreams is because you see so many obstacles in your path, you cannot imagine getting to that dream place from where you are currently. In verse 14, Gehazi told Elisha the reasons why it was impossible for the woman to have a child. In Exodus 4:29-31 we see the Israelites filled with hope and joy at the message Moses brought to them about their freedom but in the next chapter, when pressure came they gave up and blamed their problems on God's promise.

he leads me beside quiet waters,
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

I will fear no evil,

You anoint my head with oil;

Some of us have things in our lives that we still hold on tightly to which stunt our growth in Christ. It could be doubt, anxiety, self-pity or secret sins. It is something that you find yourself repeatedly doing in moments of weakness and especially when you are alone, by yourself.
Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.
(Psalm 141:3)
The Bible talks a lot about our lips, our speech, and the power of words. Did you know the word "lips" is referred to over 100 times in the Bible? ("Tongue" over 100 times, "words" over 500 times, and "mouth" over 400 times.)
Words can uplift (Prov. 16:24) and destroy (Prov. 15:4). Words can trigger anger or defuse it (Prov. 15:1). God detests lying words (Prov. 6:16-17, Ps. 12:2-4) but seeks those who speak the truth (Ps. 15:2).
"2And He said to them, The harvest indeed is abundant [[a]there is much ripe grain], but the farmhands are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."
