My God

Who is God to you?

I believe my God is a God of love and understanding. A God that gives answers to those who believe.

I pray believing that God is already making a way. I hear an answer in my heart, and I take it to be nothing less than the Holy Spirit showing me the answer.

This gives me great peace in situations most people would be fretting over until they saw the answer they wanted to see. It's not always about the answer we want, but about the answer we need.

My God holds the whole world together, so why would He not know just what I need.

I have learned to thank God for the blessings as soon as I hear His answer. No matter how long it takes to actually see the fruit, I believe He will provide.

Funny thing is, God wants to bless us. It's just that so many have lost the belief in everyday miracles. No longer is God the one we turn to in every situation, but only in trivial matters.

So what happens when we turn to Him with reckless abandon? Well, we learn to expect the answer and to thank Him for it. We learn that we still serve a God of wonder and amazement, a God of miracles and blessings.

I talk to God in a specific manner. This is whether I am praying for personal issues or for others.

The fact is, when we stop second guessing God, and put our foolish pride aside, we get out of God's way so He can finally bless us in the way he so desires for each of us.

Sometimes all we need to do is let go. Sometimes we just need to recognize who God is, pray believing, and let Him do His job.

Do you believe you receive answers when you pray?
Do you pray believing you will receive?
Do you expect God to move in your life?
Are you willing to get out of His way?

Jeremiah 29:12-13
"Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

1 Chronicles 5:20b
"He answered their prayers, because they trusted Him."
