It is not enough to pray for answers
if we are too stubborn to listen to what the Lord is telling us.
if we are too stubborn to listen to what the Lord is telling us.
~~Allison Bottke
This
morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest
Christian Women Writers of All Time.
As
a milestone event approaches, we shop for a new dress. We know exactly what we
want or else we search until we find the perfect one. No sales clerk can change
our minds. We know what we want.
How
often do we petition God with the same determination? We know our needs and we
know exactly how we want them to be met. We know what he should provide for us,
when he should provide it, or how he should deal with that person who hurt us.
We aren’t ready to hear another alternative. We may not recognize when God
sends a friend or a Scripture to soften our hearts in order to hear him. If we’re
too stubborn to listen to what God is saying, we miss his perfect answers.
Listen
with an open heart. God’s answers may surprise you.
