This morning I caught myself looking for my phone again. It was in my hand, again! The first time this happened it was funny. Not so much the third time. Seriously, God is that You trying to tell me something? I just thought about all the prayers I had been praying for everyone in my circle; I wondered if God was trying to tell me that He has it in His hands already.
His Perfect Timing
I kept praying for a few things repeatedly because I did not see any evidence that God had moved on my prayer yet. I am starting to realize that there is a point where God expects us to start thanking Him for working on the prayer instead of looking for the evidence.
Colossians 3:15-17 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Prayer of Thanksgiving
Lord God Almighty, sanctify me in Your Holiness. Teach me how to let go and let God handle my prayers. Even when I have peace that You have heard my prayer, I still worry when I do not see any results. I sometimes forget the peace I had when I prayed and knew You heard me. I worry sometimes if I need to pray my prayer a little differently for better results. That worry steals my peace. I want to give that sick worried feeling to You. I want to stand in steadfast patience as I yearn for the warmth within God’s arms. Your perfect peace warms my heart! I hear You telling me to let You answer my prayer according to Your purpose and will. I know that is best for everyone concerned! Please forgive me for holding on to my prayers and not trusting You properly. Thank You for not only hearing my prayers but moving on my prayers in a way that is in everyone’s best interest. Thank You that Your timing is perfect and You will get the best results for everyone. Holy Father of Love, be glorified as Jesus answers my prayers according to His promises. Praise God for the victory! Amen.
