Dealing With God's "NO"નમૂનો

Prayer and Trust

Prayer and trust go hand and hand. If we trust God enough to pray to him, shouldn't we trust him enough to answer our prayers the best way he sees fit? Remember that God sees what we cannot. If we truly think about some of the things we have prayed for over the course of our lives we should be grateful God did not say yes to everything we asked. 

Sometimes we pray for things we are not prepared for and God's "no" is a shield of protection from ourselves. We have to get to a place in our prayer life where we truly trust that God has our best interest at heart. Prayer is not about our wants but more so about God's will. One of the most powerful prayers we can pray is simply saying "Lord let your will be done in my life." 

We must focus not on what God can do for us, but what we can do for him. When was the last time your prayer was about serving God, and not God serving you? Switching our mentality on the purpose of prayer will indeed switch how we deal with the outcomes of how God answers. 

Pray this prayer:

God, forgive me for focusing solely on what I wanted to see in my life instead of what you want for and from me. I trust that when your answer to my prayer is "no" it is for my good. Have your way in my life and let your will be done. Show me how to serve you today. Amen.
