No call to God can be unheard nor left
Unanswered. And of this I can be sure;
His answer is the one I really want.
There is a bumper sticker/sign that says God answers all prayers:
Sometimes He says YES!
Sometimes He says NO!
And sometimes He says YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!
(to order one for yourself, click on the photo)
And that’s today’s lesson: HIS ANSWER IS THE ONE I REALLY WANT.
I don’t care if the answer is a “yes” or if it’s a “no” or if it’s a “maybe” or if He laughs His head off at me. I don’t care. His answer is the one I really want.
He knows what is best for me.
I have no idea what I need.
I have no idea what I want.
But God knows! He knows the whole plan! And I trust Him.
If I ask for something and I don’t get it straight away, I don’t sweat it. I don’t continue to ask like a bratty child. I don’t beg like a beggar. If I was meant to have the thing I prayed for, He would have given it to me immediately.
Either I’m not ready for it (like the child who asks for a knife) or it will delay me, or He’s got something better for me.
I trust God. His answer is the one I want.
“My Father, all I want is what You offer me, in just the form You choose that it be mine. Let me remember all that I do not know, and let my voice be still, remembering.”
Ha!
Let me remember all that I do not know, and let my voice be still, remembering.
In other words, let me not continue to pray/beg/plead in different words so I can get my way.
The choice is between MY WAY vs. GOD’S WAY.
I choose God’s Way.
One prayer is sufficient. He answered it already.
God answers all prayers.
“Father, let me not forget Your Love and care, keeping Your promise to Your Son in my awareness always. Let me not forget myself is nothing, but my Self is all.”
