"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened."
~Matthew 7:7-8
Have you been praying and feel what you are praying is going unheard or feel as though your prayer is bouncing off the walls instead of reaching the ears of our Father in Heaven? Have you been having such a difficult time and think if one more thing happens you will lose it? Take heart, your prayer has reached the Father and he has already set in motion what is best for you in accordance with his will for your life. Have you prayed for patience, boldness, guidance or even more trust lately? Thinking that he will just lavish this virtue upon you? Well, he is but not the way you have been expecting it. When we pray for these, and other, wonderful virtues experiences come along that help us achieve what we have prayed for. Somehow we keep trying to keep God in the box when knowing all to well he has never been able to fit, just like the grave the box can't hold him. It's a human thing, the disciples thought all the way to the crucifixion that Jesus was going to set up his kingdom here on earth. Was it that God wasn't listening to their cries for help? No, he had a better plan! Just like in our lives we can only see the part we are experiencing at the time, not the whole picture. God's plan was to save everyone through the blood of Jesus Christ not just those calling out at that time. Some sacrifice had to paid and if it wasn't Jesus then who, we sure aren't worthy for the job. So next time you feel God hasn't answered your prayer try to remember you can't fit God into the box and the answer is always on the way... God is never late or early but ALWAYS right on time.
God bless...
