Do you remember when you were 5 years old, maybe standing up to your dads waist? do you remember walking through the mall and seeing this shiny metal slinky, and you had to have one (in my days, slinkys were cool haha). But dad said no, and you just kept saying "But I want one!!!" (in a really annoying voice) then dad tries to reason with you adn tell you all the reasons why you wouldnt like it "its gonna get tangled up, and caught and it will break and you wont have fun with it" Then you go on this mental break down and say "But i thought you loved me!!!!!" and by this time dad is feeling bad, so he walks over and pics you up and carries you to the car.
We always have that one thing in life that we always want. That one thing that we just say "God if you just me (fill in thing) i will be happy" But God doesn't always give us what we want, he's like our dad when were 5 saying "no, you won't be happy." So when we dont get what we want, we get upset and its easy to do. We get mad at god and blame him for the things going on. But the truth is there is a reason God isn't giving you what you want. God's time is not our time. We have to wait on him to provide for us. The "things" we want in life, may come later. You speak to a god who put all the stars in the sky and knows how many hairs are on your head. So as our god he has the power to limit what he gives us. When did we ever know what best for ourselves? We don't God knows what we need before we need it. If God doesnt answer you, then obviously he has better plans and a better time for it. So this wee i want tot challennge all who read this. If you pray and find that God isn't answering your prayers, respond with thanksgiving that there may be a really good reason as to why you aren't getting it.
