…and we pray, and we pray, and we pray….and God doesn't let it happen. Does that mean God isn't listening? Does it mean God doesn't care? Does it mean God doesn't exist? This is the usual line of thinking when prayers go unanswered and feel like they're falling on deaf ears.
I know. I sit here day after day praying for miracles. Nothing. Sometimes I tell that almighty God I don't know how much longer I can do this. Now, God and I have too long of a history together for me to ever doubt his existence, but oh I get so frustrated when He won't give me what I want, when I want it, the way I want it. And therein lies my answer:
Sometimes God gives us what we need, not what we want.
This song, brand new by Laura Story, explains it better than I ever could. Her husband suffers from a brain tumor. After many operations he still is having a lot of difficulty. Though she prays everyday, God just won't heal him completely, but she figured it out.
Give it a listen below.
And so, as another day goes by, faith does move mountains – just not always in the direction we would prefer, and…I have written.
