Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Trusting God completely and wholeheartedly. Through the stillness, through the valley, always. I talk to people that say what is the point in praying when God has His own will and He is going to do whatever it is He is going to do so why bother? My answer simply is this, "Prayer is an act of faith and you must demonstrate that before your Lord". It is the foundation. I know it can be frustrating when you feel your prayers are never answered. I told you the story of the time I prayed and prayed for a work situation and nothing until one day God revealed to me I was praying wrong. I was telling him, not asking. When I changed my prayer, He answered me in exactly 2 weeks time. And I had been praying for 4 months prior. Here, I was the problem, not God. You know we can get in our own way sometimes of our blessings and again we blame God. "Well where is He, this God of yours??" My answer simply is this, "He is right in front of you, next to you, behind you. He has never left you nor forsaked you." Just trust Him. He knows what is best. His timing is always perfect. He will never be late. He knows your cries, hurts, desires. He doesn't need you to pray to learn those. He lwants you to pray because He loves you and it pleases Him when you come to Him. He wants to be a part of your daily life. It really is that simple. Not all this stuff you read and see and how some people act. Just admit Jesus died for your sins, commit your life and ways to Him and in all things, pray and your life will be transformed. Now do understand that when we ask God into our lives, our hearts and mindsets must change. I had to be the one to share God's message with someone I love and was commanded to do such. My message was, "God wants to bless you immensely, but you need to change from your selfish ways. You need to change your heart and your mind first." I don't know if that person ever received the message and changed for they did not acknowledge it to me and ignored me. But I know I obeyed what God asked me to do and I shared His message. So that person may be thinking or saying, "God never answers my prayers" and yet look how God came directly to them with a personal message? I equate it to a person shaking your shoulders to get you to listen or concentrate. And what did the person do? Ignore God. So we must always first self exam our own lives and hearts when we feel or think nothing is changing, no blessings are coming. For the very thing standing in God's way very well be us.
Proverbs 3:5
Now I will tell you that I never know what is going to be written until I sit down. I ask the Lord to speak through me, through this avenue and this is what He wants you to know so whoever you are, listen! For this very message is from God to you!
