A young woman wrote to me, “My boyfriend and I split up. I applied for a job and was rejected. Is God even listening to me?
You need to know that God knows more about life than we do! And, yes, He’s listening! One day, my then six-year-old said she wanted me to leave the ministry. “I just really wish you sold snow cones!” An honest request from an honest heart. To her, the happiest people in the world were the guys who drove the snow-cone trucks. I heard her request, but I didn’t heed it. Why? Because I know more about life than she did.
Same with God. God hears our requests. But His answer isn’t always what we’d like it to be. Because He knows more about life than we do? Don’t panic. Don’t bailout. Talk to your heavenly Father. He’s still in control!
“Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down.” Philippians 4:6-7
