Ok, so I have been meaning to get to this blog but it was a conversation with a friend that finally just pushed me. There are so many times when I have prayed and asked God to do something for me. Then after a while, I start 'helping' God in answering that prayer. I am sure you guys are thinking helping Him how? Well, take for example, i ask God for provision, that I am broke and not quite sure I have enough cash to get by....almost as soon I am done praying, I start thinking, well if God is going to provide, He will use this person or that person...and then I set my gaze in that direction. Then when it doesn't happen through that person, I am like...ahn ahn, God, why now? But you said you will provide now..and I can almost hear Him laugh as He replies me and says 'Yes, my darling but did I tell you how I would do it?'
That is just so typical of us, we have expectations when we pray and then we limit Him with our short sighted minds...we have become so used to helping Him that we have put Him in a box!!! And he is telling us that faith is not about expecting Him to do it, it is about expecting Him to do it His own way, simple!
So the next time you pray and ask Him for something, don't wonder how or when or by what means He is going to do it...just think outside the box!
Ephesians 3:20
