I'm waiting for a prayer to be answered...
I have been waiting for quite a while now.
Everyday I whisper the same prayer over and over again in my mind.
I have "talks" with God about how this prayer being answered will CHANGE my life.
I sit and try to figure out what I can do to make the situation better...you know cause that works, right?
I even talk to my hubby about the "what if's" of this prayer....
I believe with my whole heart that we serve a prayer answering God. There is no doubt in my mind that He will answer my prayer.
And yet, I still lay awake worrying about this "unanswered prayer."
Have you ever done that? laid awake worrying about a situation that you have prayed over and asked God to take care of?
Why do we worry about something that we have already placed in Gods hands?
Why do we stress out when it is not answered right away.
Let me be honest with you...Yes I believe in prayer, and yes I know that God is going to answer my prayer....that is not what I lay awake worrying about.
I lay awake worrying about HOW He is going to answer my prayers.
Will the answer
be YES, or will it be a NO??
Will I have to wait for a while or is it something that will never happen?
Will the healing come in the form of a miracle, or will they be healed when they are taken from this world?
Not all answers to my prayers are what I want.
How many of us, know the answers we want from God? We pray for Gods will, but in the back of our minds we are hoping that His will and ours are the same.
which is crazy if you think about it. God created everything...the best thing I have been able to "create" is a wreath made out of old song books. and its not even that good.
God is perfect in EVERYTHING, His timing is PERFECT, His answers, even if they are not the ones I want to hear, are PERFECT.
and yet...I still worry.
I still struggle with the answers He gives me.
It is a struggle that I am trying to over come. I want to lay my worries, my fears, and my doubts at His feet, and leave them there.
Which is so much easier said then done. Whenever I start to worry about what I have already prayed about, I tell myself "God is in control."
I am working on laying it all down, and not picking it back up..I am working on trusting and accepting His answers to my prayers....It is a work in progress.
If you are struggling with what you have already given over to God, take the time to listen this song.
Our God is GREATER then our worries. His timing is perfect, and when He answers our prayers (which He will do), regardless of the answer, it is for OUR GOOD!
