~~~~WHEN GOD ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS--SOMETIMES HE SAYS "NO!" THEN MY REACTION IS....







I think the first thing that happens is I DON'T LIKE IT!!! Even though I know GOD is in control....I like, at least at the time, when HE lets me play by my own rules....

...Until I find myself chin deep in trouble and then I become the crying child running back to DAD for HELP!

HE dusts my britches off, and pats my head and straightens things out, WHEN I FINALLY GIVE IN AND LET HIM TAKE CONTROL!...

You know since God knows everything, I don't know why we get all balistic over NO answers from God.
He loves Us and will always do only the best for Us --- If we JUST TRUST HIM.
He hears every sincere prayer, not when you say you are gonna pray and then you may give it a thought, but a thought does not get through the ceiling.
Sincere praying, crying out to God for hours not just a short, insincere pretend thing.
In fact, when we pray, God looks into Our minds and He above all, knows what is REALLY going on in there.

You can't FOOL HIM!

NO is not always a bad answer. When you are dealing with God, NO is always the right answer at the right time.
We shouldn't need to be reminded, but we still do...and God goes along with it, because HE really does want Our Unconditional love, not just because we have no other choice....That is why HE WAITS for Our call. Then HE checks inside Our hearts and and the more sincere we are the more GOD responds.
Sometimes, I think, that He may wait until we are really thinking clearing, and not just jumping into something because we are being tempted.
We always need to remember that all God does for HIS CHILDREN, HE does because of HIS LOVE FOR US.

When HE says NO....He is training Us, showing Us HE REALLY CARES!
Sometimes we need to be slowed down enough to think things out and GOD loves it when we can make GOOD decisions after thinking them out.

All we have to really remember is....GOD KNOWS....so HIS 'NOs' are perfectly fine, and WE need to realize how much love can be found in a NO answer from Him.

But never forget that when you pray to GOD...and really GET DOWN TO IT---He always answers, never forgetting anyone, and if you really feel like He hasn't said NO yet, keep praying for a SOLID answer.

GOD WILL LET YOU KNOW FOR SURE....IF YOU FOR SURE PRAY TO GOD!!!!
