Don't Set Yourself Up!!!

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 55:8

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

What is it that you are waiting for God to do in your life? Do you have prayers that you are still waiting on an answer for? Well ask yourself this, is it that God hasn’t answered your prayer or is it that He didn’t answer the way you expected?

Often times we don’t see the answers to our prayers because God didn’t package them the way we thought He should or the outcome wasn’t what we thought it would be.

We being the control freaks that we are, not only want to tell the Lord what we need but also how to supply our needs. We create scenarios in our minds of what our answered prayer will look like—or what we think would be the best way for God to answer us; forgetting that God’s ways are not our ways nor His thoughts our thoughts.

When we do this we don’t allow God to work beyond what is logical to us. I don’t mean that we literally don’t allow God to work, because we know that God is sovereign and we don’t ALLOW Him to do anything; but I am saying that when we conjure up visions of what our answered prayer will look like and that is the only way we can see our prayer being answered, if the Lord does anything other what we are expecting or beyond our understanding …we end up being disappointed and in turn are unable to see God moving!

In order to really receive God's answers to our prayers we must give Him carte blanche in dealing with our issues. How do we do that? We do that by trusting that God knows what is absolutely best for us even if we don’t understand it and by being open to HIS plan for our circumstance.

Don’t Set Yourself Up for dissapointment or to miss the move of God in your circumstances. Let God truly be Lord over your Life!!!!

Prayer:
Father God you know what is going on in my life. You know the things I stand in need of, the things I need deliverance from and the relationships that I need to have reconciled. Father I’m asking you to move in these areas of my life in the name of Jesus. I trust you God to answer my prayer according to your will for my life. I will have no preconceived ideas of how you should answer dear God, but ask that you help me to recognize your hand in it all. Father I praise, bless, and exalt you in the midst of everything that is going on in my life. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen!
