When you pray so hard for XYZ to happen and you don't get the results you have been praying for then what do you do? I guess we can't do anything huh? We just have to accept it and wait and wait and wait. Friends, I have been praying for things in the past and still am waiting for an answer. I am praying for something right now and really want an answer. But, I really can't do anything but just trust and obey. You know honestly sometimes I feel like I don't want to God! I'm pretty sure he understands that. Remember he is the God who didn't fight back when people spit and tortured him right?
I really don't know what else to say about that. Greg Laurie says, "When you are suffering, you need to know that you're talking to a God who knows what you are going through. You will find in Jesus a merciful High Priest and a faithful friend who feels your pain. " Hebrews 4:15 says, "This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin."
I guess all I can think of to say right now is even though it's so hard at times, we just gotta do it and trust God will help us to not be bitter in our reaction and responses when it's our turn to act. I guess perhaps, the word I am thinking is to stay far from bitter or hash retaliation. Does that make sense? Start with an apology if that is what is needed and the word that is a magnet to my mind at the moment is the word, love. Imagine how difficult that is! But, ask God for help, he can give it!
