ASKING, AND RECIEVING!

TUESDAY! Waking to a wet and rainy day, and listening to people on the news say, when, oh when will this rain stop,, enough is enough! Not too long ago, I heard this here, and nation wide ,,, the USA is in one of the hardest droughts since "The Dust Bowl",, and prayed and prayed for rain,and made statements like , " Lord, please let it rain, for I know You know best, but we really need the rain!"... Well , He did ,, know best, and now it is raining, here in one week, we have gotten at least 6 to 7 inches.... but what is wrong with this? Nothing, for you prayed, but then you forgot, for now,, you have started second guessing, again,, remember the part,,, "I know you know best"? For I hear this,, "Lord let it stop raining, we have had enough , and we know you know best"! Let's just stop this day,, and say to God this, His morning, "Thank You God for this day, for we were not promised it, and thank You for the rain, for WE ALL KNOW YOU KNOW BEST!!" AND MEANT IT!!!! Now off my soap box for the day!!! May all of you have a great day, and if you in the rain area , please , take a rain coat, for He also gave you a brain!!! Oh, yes , take Him with you to where-ever you go, and to what-ever you do , this day of His! You know, I think if we will just listen to ourselves of the prayers we ask , and if we will just trust ,,, after we have ask, trust,, and let His will be done,,, for if we pray, surely we believe an answer will be forth-coming , and should not we have the faith to accept what He answers,,,even if we don't understand, and we should go on after prayer with the knowledge of ,, "knowing He heard,, knowing He will re-act to our request,, in His own way".. so it is something for you to think about as you pray..... right? Lord, may we all listen to You, and live for You, and put You first in our thoughts, and thanks and realize , if not for You, we would have nothing! amen John HIcks
