I have been so ill for the past 33 hours, it was the type of illness where my fever reached a peak and I had all kinds of odd thoughts. I slept for 19 hours, then I finally woke up feeling myself. I am rarely the type to become ill, not since four years ago when I was so sick for seven weeks, I figure that seven weeks is good for 5-6 years.
If something is not happening for you
It doesn't mean it's never going to happen
It means you're not ready for it.
I've been praying for different things, I believe in prayer. If we don't ask, we won't receive, it all takes a little faith. Now I do think that we need to pray for good things that will enhance our lives, for me, I think it's about getting back to basics.
Some of my prayers are huge and I sometimes wonder how they can happen but last night when I had a high fever I saw one of them in my hazy thoughts. It was so real, I could almost reach out and touch it. I actually think I needed this as I was losing faith; Heavenly Father answers prayers in different ways for all of us.
I watch my daughter Valentina who has no preconceived thoughts that prayers cannot be answered. She believes that all she has to do is pray and it will happen. Part of me wants to protect her and explain that just because we believe doesn't mean it will happen. After all I don't want her being too disappointed.
Then I think that I should have her faith, the faith of a child who believes no matter what. I know that's what Heavenly Father wants from us, full belief, not part way. He doesn't want us to say I want this but if I can't have this, I'll take this.
There is nothing too big for God/Universe to give to us, all we have to do is really have faith, tenacious faith, the faith of a child.

It is Launna, is having faith in God and put it in your hands.
ReplyDeleteI am doing that daily Jaqueline, just having faith and putting it in His hands;)
DeleteAll prayers get answered. Like any good parent, sometimes Heavenly Father says "no, this is not good for you." Or "Not, yet. You have something to do first." I know that when we pray for something good, He will provide. My problem is that I sometimes want something so much that it never occurs to me that it might not be as good a thing as I think it is. And sometimes, I fail to do my part. It's sort of like asking for better health and then going out for poutine and cheeseburgers.
ReplyDeleteLove watching you and Valentina teaching each other. We all need to become more childlike.
I agree with you Cindy... sometimes it is just wait you're not ready yet, others I am sure it could be a no but I really try to be in tune no matter the answer ;)
DeleteCindy is very wise! Heavenly Father has bigger and better plans for us. Obviously we need to do our part, but having faith that he will take care of things for us is VERY important. Love you, mommy!
ReplyDeleteI do agree pumpkin but I also try to stay very in tune with what He wants even if it's not the answer I want it to be. I received an answer the other night. I am on the right track but I also know why I have to wait.
