Have you ever caught yourself thinking that if you just do the right things, in the right way, for the right amount of time, then God will see fit to bless you with that thing you’ve been praying for? I know I’ve been guilty of this.
In fact, I didn’t realize it right away, but I’ve been doing this (again) lately… thinking that I need to do this or that in order for God to answer my prayer in the way I want Him to. Trouble is, God doesn’t operate that way. He isn’t a genie who grants wishes. And thankfully, He is patient with me as I learn this. He also sends me gentle reminders to get me back on the right track — like this one.
Hop on over to Rosilind’s blog and read the post that God used as my reminder.
