Thank
You for Saying NO!
• God, please let me get this job…
• God, please let me marry him/her…
• God, please give me a child…
In
hindsight, I’m sure we can all look back and say: Oh, My Goodness! Thank You Lord,
for not giving me what I prayed for. As a matter of fact—please forget I even asked!!!
Some prayers we have prayed could
have turned out pretty SCARY if they
had come true. I know God’s Love and Wisdom
caused me to dodge a few BULLETS in my lifetime.
Thank
You for Saying NO!
The Word says in I Cor. 13:9, we only know in
part. Consequently, we need God’s help to know what to pray for. We can make
our request known to Him, but we must humble ourselves and confess: “I Don’t Have Enough Information about the Situation.”
(Therefore,) Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven, Matthew 6:10.
We can get a LOT accomplished praying
in the will of God. On the other hand, we can WASTE a LOT of time praying
amiss.
When
we pray in God’s will, we work as a TEAM; He being the Team Leader. Our Faith Builds,
and Power is Released. Now that’s a “Dream
Team.” AWESOME!
WARNING, WARNING!!! Proverbs 3:5-6 says to trust God and He will
direct our path. We have to be willing to accept the fact that sometimes He directs
us by saying, NO!
That might be a hard pill for us to swallow at times, but in the end; we
can all say, Thank you.
