I have shared this with most everyone that I have talked to in the past two weeks, so I thought I would blog it as well. God's unmerited favor, when it strikes, is almost too much to deal with. I mean we already lead such blessed lives and I realize that all I have, from my wife and children to my home and job, is from God. He has taken care of my every need and so much more.Recently, I have been the recipient of an awesome answer to prayer. What is even better is that it really came out of the blue. I was praying about it and for at least the past 8 months, but I guess I never really expected it to happen. Do you know what I mean? I guess I had been in a prayer rut. You know, asking for the same request over and over, but maybe not believing that it could really happen or that God would deliver it to me.
With God the impossible is possible ... be thinking about how you are praying and what you are expecting God to do with and to your prayer request. Do you really believe that He can meet your needs, even if He doesn't answer your prayer? How are you or will you respond to His unmerited favor?
I found this verse a while ago during a deep struggle and under much stress at my, as of tomorrow, former position:
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. " Galatians 6:9-10 (NIV)
Stay Strong
