For years and years I have been praying to the Lord about certain situations, and have not seen anything, or heard anything. I just told my husband the other day that it seemed as if when I pray to the Lord about something about him cleansing me or helping me spiritually, oh he does it! Almost immediately. But when I ask him for something naturally or financially. I hear nothing! lol<br />I try so hard not to put my hands in things and situations because I know that I must trust him with ALL of my heart. But sometimes, while looking over at my neighbors just flying in front of me, I get impatient, and start mumbling to the Lord. Thank you for allowing the Lord to remind me that he hears, and he already knows the things that I need before I even ask, and that David said, that he has been young, and old, yet he has never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread. Thank you so much for all that you do, in Jesus precious name, AmenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-55732957930093979852009-05-15T12:56:00.000-04:002009-05-15T12:56:00.000-04:00Hi Tracie, I met you through your Proverbs 31 arti...Hi Tracie, I met you through your Proverbs 31 articles and I occassionally browse your blog. I wanted to let you know how your messages resonate with me. You always speak right to me! Today I read your message on "why is God not giving me what I want" - it was exactly what I needed to hear today.<br />Thank you for your thoughtful, inspiring messages.<br /><br />Blessings to you.<br /><br />VanessaVanessanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-22064574647307551762009-05-07T20:32:00.000-04:002009-05-07T20:32:00.000-04:00Tracie, I have asked that question so many times. ...Tracie, I have asked that question so many times. I think it's OK to ask it, as long as we keep on trusting Him. I for one certainly don't understand His ways. I don't get why some journey's take "40 years of wilderness wandering" when the destination could have been reached so much sooner. I know it all has a purpose, but it's still hard.<br /><br />Just 2 weeks ago, I wrote a post about not understanding why God wasn't answering my prayer. (http://ponderinginhispresence.blogspot.com/2009/04/blessing-of-gods-no.html)<br /><br />As a friend commented to me at that time, "On the front side of our prayers, we often cannot see how God is working it out...How thankful I am for His wisdom that exceeds my grasp at understanding."<br /><br />Praying for you too Tracie.<br />Hugs,<br />JoyJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010498759199040612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-13066730672421901612009-05-05T12:49:00.000-04:002009-05-05T12:49:00.000-04:00You are so right on track for my heart. I have pra...You are so right on track for my heart. I have prayed about certain things over and over again only to see no change. Why does God allow me to go through the pain and heartache that I am?<br />I began a relationship and walk with God in February. You would think, how great..a relationship with God. Don't get me wrong...I am so thankful for the first time in my life, the relationship I am experiencing with God. But it has also become the hardest time in my life. <br />Satan has hid all my problems under his dark cloud. I didn't think things were hard because, I didn't have feelings for anything. God is causing me to deal with my problems, front and center. This is a slow process. A very slow process that I am unaccustomed to. When I see something that needs to be done, I'm on it and over it. Three months of dealing with the same issues has been wearing me down. So many times I have thought, just quit. It is easier not to feel anything than to feel all the hurt I have.<br />On Friday while reading a blog one statement jumped at me and made so much sense. I have spent too much time focusing on the one who seeks to destroy me and how he is trying to destroy me ,rather than focusing all my thoughts on Him, marching into his presence and allowing Him to be my strength.<br />So I stand with you knowing how defeated we can become but also knowing all His truths. He will carry us through these difficult times and cause us to praise His name.<br />At Renee's conference I got this verse that has brought such comfort to me.<br />Isaiah 51:3<br /> "The Lord will surely comfort [you] and will look with compassion on all [your] ruins; He will make [your] deserts like Eden, [your] wastelands like the garden of the Lord."<br /> You are in my prayers today!<br /> AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06536994991268726132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-66417394011292199372009-05-05T12:31:00.000-04:002009-05-05T12:31:00.000-04:00Praying with you and for you Tracie.

One is mother inching toward death as her little ones cling to her side wanting more and more of their mommy. Another is a friend grieving the loss of her marriage and her future to heinous addictions and indescribable damages. Why would God allow this? We don't know. <br /><br />Today I am seeking and searching for Him and thanking HIM for each day that I get to breathe, because that is a gift! My prayer is that the eyes of my heart and their hearts will see all that He has done - even when we don't understand why and what He hasn't done that we were praying and hoping He would. <br /><br />Praying for you and yours today!<br /><br />Love you!<br />ReneeRenee Swopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14638942616793366265noreply@blogger.com
