Dealing With God's "NO"নমুনা

God Knows

God knows best and we must begin to treat him as such. I believe that God will not give us more than we can bear. In retrospect, he won't always give us something we are not prepared for, and if he choses to, the lesson may be a hard one. 

Instead of learning how to deal with God saying "no" we should learn to live with the fact that God "knows." He literally knows what he is doing. We go wrong when we doubt that. We prolong the process he has us in by being impatient, prideful, and self-absorbed. 

There are two ways we can learn to deal with both God saying "no" and him "knowing."  The first way is accepting that we are not in control. God does not need a sidekick, he doesn't need our help. God needs us to be willingly and responsive. The second way is minimizing worry. Learning not to worry is a journey that starts with living and applying scriptures like Romans 8:28 and John 10:10 to our life. 

The commonality in these ways are us giving up our idealization of how life should go. Once we get to a point where we really believe that God wants what is best for us, life should become more simplistic. 

Pray this prayer:

God, I want what you want for me. Help me to give all control over to you. Help me to become a better listener, believer and doer of your word. Strengthen my faith and do not allow worry to overtake my life. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
