THINK ABOUT IT 8-28-24
We don’t want to admit it but chances are we sometimes pray without expecting what we requested. Obviously that would be an evidence of a lack of faith. And naturally that leaves us in a troubled state of mind rather than peace. Some have quit praying because they concluded that it didn’t make any difference, they are wrong.
You might not realize it, but God does hear and respond to your prayers. However, His response might not be what you requested, but He does respond. He might say yes, no, or wait. And when he doesn’t say yes He gives you something better. Don’t quit praying. One way or another your prayers will not be in vain.
Grab hold of God’s promises and don’t let go. Trust Him hear you and respond. And remember- His answers are wiser than our desires.
Expect God to hear and respond in prayer – because that is exactly what happens. Granted, His response may or may not be what you desired; but it will be for your advantage. God either gives you what you ask for or something infinitely better. God gives the best to those who trust and obey Him. Think about it! – HDS
