Well, I learned something new this week. While doing my quiet time, I read, “If you keep stating your concerns to Me, you will live in a state of tension” (Jesus Speaks by Sarah Young). All I could do when I read that statement was say “wow.” Maybe you girls are not as simple minded as I am. Sometimes my blonde roots really hinder my comprehension or maybe it is my chocolate induced state of bliss. However, I can read the same Bible passage a million times. Then suddenly, it finally sinks in.
Here is what I feel this statement is saying to me. I have been praying earnestly for a particular prayer request. I keep bringing that need before God everyday and every night. I am quite sure He is growing very weary of my repetition and pleading. In addition, I keep finding myself wondering when the answer will come.
After reading this simple truth, I decided that I will thank God for the answer He is going to provide. Now, it has been three days since I have started this process and no answer has come. However, I will keep on thanking Him because He does know what is best in this particular situation.
Girlfriends, have you thanked the Father for the answer He will provide for your prayer concern?

I read this last year in some Beth Moore study and it hit me like a rock. I think it is profound but true. If we keep on asking God the same thing then it is almost like telling him "Hey just in case you forgot....", or not really believing He has the situation under control.
You know it has really gotten on my nerves the past few weeks my 4 year old keeps asking me the same question a hundred times in a row. If I do not stop what I am in the middle of and answer or give him the response he wants he just keeps going! I want to pinch his head off! But, I guess that's what it sounds like to God! I'm glad He's not hasn't pinched my head off yet!
Thanks for the reminder to give thanks before the request is even answered. It will help me in my spiritual life and my mothering!
