God is amazing! Trust in him and he comes through every time. We may not understand the process in which he works or understand why, but he takes care of us...if we let him. Over the last few years I have begun to understand that when we pray we should pray for HIS will...not what we "want." That is very difficult to understand. We pray for sick people to get well. We pray for being hired for a particular job. We pray for a "want" that we have in life that we think we need. We just have to realize that his answer is the best for us. I've experienced this first hand.
Over the several months I have had a specific financial concern. I have prayed and prayed for God to help me with this. In my prayers I have never ASKED for him to do anything in particular...just help me. I wanted Hhis will to be done...even if it meant I had to suffer and couldn't make my financial obligation. I have put my life's plans in his hands. Well, today God's answer came. My financial need was due THIS Friday. Today I learned that I will have the money in my account by this Friday!!! This money was not given to me, and I did not borrow it. I don't want to get too personal about my financial situation...but a weight has been lifted and I felt so good this afternoon. Months of worry wasted. I don't know that I will ever learn not to worry, but I'm getting better at trusting God.
Fall is sure in the air. Temps in the upper 50's and low 60's already. The pool closes Saturday, but with these temps I'm not sure if I'll get a last dip in before it closes. - Jimmy
