you don’t always get what you want

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of Him.

- 1 John 5:14-15

Yes, you can ask God for anything, everything that you want.

Just remember that He isn’t always going to give you exactly what you want.

If you feel like your prayers are not being answered or that He is ignoring you, remind yourself that God knows what is best for you, He loves you and He knows His plans for you.

I can think of several things that I prayed really hard about, begging God for a specific outcome, and being heartbroken when it did not end the way I wanted it to go.

And I look back now and thank Him for NOT doing that thing I asked Him to do.

It is all in God’s timing, and His will, we have to be patient and wait for Him.

Now once again, I need to practice what I preach.

Have a blessed day. 

P.S. Happy birthday to the BEST mother-in-law on the planet – we love you Mom!!!!!!!
