Faithfulness

I feel awful because it has been one of those times in my life where things did not go my way...they never do and instead of viewing what has come into my life as a blessing, I just got frustrated. I was praying and praying and I felt that God was not listening to me. So, we went to church on Sunday and what do you know...ya, I felt bad after that one.

The pastor talked about Daniel and how Daniel always had faith that God would take care of him and not matter what went on in his life, Daniel prayed and prayed. He talked about how frustrating it was for Daniel to have God tell him of all the promises that He had in store for all his people and, even though Daniel prayed, he did not see a result. Kind of like how I felt. Don't you just hate that (but love it at the same time) when God is speaking directly to you about what is going on in your life. Well, this was like three weeks ago but it has been on my mind for quite a while.

So...I feel bad because I was sulking and just being plain pitiful...not looking back at what God has done in my life that I have prayed about constantly. He has always answered, not right away and sometimes right away. It humbles me and makes me so happy at the same time because I know that I am not in control, never will be. I am on His time.

I know, kind of a deep though today but it has been on my mind and I think that people should be reminded, especially with everything going on in our country right now. God is in control. Just keep praying and being faithful...He will never give us anything that we can't handle :)
