Greetings Family
What do you do when things don’t work out the way you hoped and prayed for? Is there something you have been continuing to go to the altar about and/or pray about and it still hasn’t come to pass as you hoped? If so, don’t feel like you are alone.
Many Christians, including myself, continue to experience frustration and disappointment over something that is very important to us. Apostle Paul expressed his frustration by telling us “a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me.” – 2 Corinth 12:7-8. The Lord never moved Paul’s thorn, but gave him the grace and strength to live with it.
Until God gives you an answer like He gave Paul, there is still hope for a favorable outcome to your prayer request. Don’t stop praying. Let’s continue to trust and believe that God has his reasons for allowing things to be as they are. And although we can’t understand or see His reasons, as long as this thing is important to You, continue to tell God about it.
His grace and strength is sufficient to see us through our most frustrating and disappointing challenges. So, keep doing what you are doing well and keep checking your spiritual mailbox everyday for your answer from God. God delivers mail everyday!
