When you pray, are you prepared for how God will respond?
Last night, I was doing a Bible plan and my mind started to drift. I honestly could feel myself rushing to get through it. Then I heard, “You spend so much time on games and TV, but not studying the Word of God or praying.”
I know I’ve been slacking. Not paying attention and distracting myself. Scared of that the future may hold.
When I lost my job, I took it as a sign that I was playing small and that was the boost I needed to get to work on my creative projects.
But I got distracted.
It seems that we can watch TV for hours or scroll without thinking, but reading and praying seems like it can be such a task.
I’m starting to want to lessen the amount of time on the external noise. It’s easy but it’s going to make life difficult because I’m not working towards anything. I’m not even resting. I’m avoiding the things to push me forward.
And that’s not the only thing we need to be aware of. We need to be aware of the people around us. If God says no, it’s not our job to convince Him why we should have a relationship with people. It’s up to us to listen so we can make wise decisions and possibly avoid heartache.
When we give God our yes, it won’t always be comfortable, we may lose relationships, we may even have to relocate, but it’s worth it in the end.
