There are times that I wonder "is he really listening?" "Is God even real?"
I know that he is but sometimes I feel that I pray and pray for something and the complete opposite happens. Why is that? "Did he answer my prayer and has another way of "helping" the situation or did the advesary answer my prayer instead?"
It is hard to explain "believing" or "having faith" when we were little my mom used to explain it like this:
Mom-"If you had a flat tire on your bicycle and you asked Grandpa if he could fix it....you would give your bike to him right?.....you would trust that he would fix it b/c he said he would right? and you wouldn't give it a second thought right?"
Me- "yes."
Mom-"Well, when you ask God for something then you need to "give" him that problem and trust that he will fix it...you need to let it go and let him handle it. If you don't give your bike to Grandpa then he can't fix it and if you don't give your problem to God then he won't be able to fix it either."
I have read these scriptures over the past few months and have thought a lot about them. I know that everything is going to be okay in my life and in the lives of my family members. I just thought I would share them with everyone else too.
“And the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. For we don’t even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.” Romans 8:26
"Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you. He will never let the righteous fall.” Psalm 55:22
"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.
