Have you ever prayed for something and God said, "No." Were you disappointed? Did you have some resentment? Did you lack understanding? How long did you experience those negative feelings? Did you begin to question God?
I think at one time or another, we have all received a no from God. But God!! Initially, it may be hard, but the next time you receive a no answer, I want you to thank God!! Thank God for his wisdom, thank him for protecting you, thank him!! He knows what is best for you. He can see the bigger picture, you cannot. It is those times when you really have to trust him and lean not to your own understanding. God is a good God, that loves you immensely, he desires you to have the best of everything, and sometimes that means withholding some of your requests from you. Trust him!! Praise him!! Proverbs 3: 5-6

I speak life over you, this day.
I pray for an awesome week, full of love and hope! I pray you are spiritually and physically blessed. As the challenges of the week begin, I pray your eyes are lifted to the hills. I speak an abundance of good things your way. I speak health, love, joy, deliverance, reconciliation and restoration in your life I decree and declare, nothing but goodness as you stay on the path, He has for you. Glory to God!! Amen!!! I received some startlingly, surprising news a few weeks ago. I heard the news and instantly I made up my mind to give it to God. To trust God, no matter what. Yesterday, God placed a song on my heart, Whitney Houston, I look to you. I know He is reminding me to keep looking to him, and not them. I know when the enemy try to cloud my mind with the what ifs, doubts and fears, to look to Him.
I want to encourage not only you, but myself, as well, today. Continue to look to Him, no matter what you are going through. You are not going through it alone. He loves you. He cares. He is right there with you. Look to Him. Trust Him. Talk with Him. He will speak to you and give you peace. So I am singing these words today: As I lay me down Heaven hear me now I'm lost without a cause After giving it my all Winter storms have come And darkened my sun After all that I've been through Who on earth can I turn to I look to you I look to you After all my strength is gone In you I can be strong I look to you I look to you Written by Robert S. Kelly • Copyright © Universal Music Publishing Group Psalm 121 Yesterday, I talked about waiting. Today, patience is my focus. While you are waiting, what do you do? Do you worry, become anxious, ask family and friends, look at the horoscopes, read the stars, or have your palms read? I know some of those sound really far-fetched, but it happens.
Patience..... that is our word today. Remember God is always on time. Remember God do not operate in our time, He operates on His time. While you are waiting, read the word, pray and communicate with Him as often as you like. Do not let worry, doubt, fear, or foolishness control your thoughts. Find a verse of scripture and meditate on it day and night. In your patience also praise Him for the very thing you are asking for, if it is in His will, it will be yours. Patience..... Luke 11: 9-10 Are you waiting this morning? Waiting on an answer from God? Do you feel like you have been waiting too long? Are you tired of waiting? Be careful!!! When we get tired of waiting, we typically try to handle the situation ourselves. Here is my nugget for you today:
DON'T TRY TO FIX A PROBLEM YOU CANNOT SOLVE. When you gave it to God, you should have let it go. You cannot orchestrate your solution. Ponder on that.... now truly give it to Him and let it go. There is nothing impossible for God. While you are waiting, He is working things out for your good. He is taking care of your concern in the spiritual realm, and you will see manifestation in the physical realm, you just have to wait. It is your season! Isaiah 40:13 While praying this morning, God showed me worship. Not my worship, but all worship.
Today, worship God in spirit and in truth. Someone is depending on your worship. Your worship today will break chains, loose strongholds, and set captives free. It is not about you. Worship God with all you have and the outpouring will be so mighty!! The spiritual realm will open and the physical manifestation will cause a shifting, in the direction, of favor!! Glory to God!! John 4: 23-24, Psalm 95:6, Psalm 29:2 |
