Prayer works. The Lord hears our prayers and will answer us according to our needs and His will for our lives. If we could just grasp that concept I believe there would be less anxiety, stress and worriment in the world. We Christians are taught at an early age to fear not, for the Lord God is with us. So as a child it is true yet as an adult we are on our own? Of course not. Then why do we have such a hard time "letting go and letting God?" Why is prayer time so hard to fit in to our daily routine? We cannot be discouraged every time a prayer goes "unanswered". All prayers are answered, they just may not be the way you asked for it. We also have to expect seasons of waiting, season of trials and tests. Anyone that hasn't felt opposition in their life needs to question their faith and salvation. For all children of God will be sanctified, purified and put through the fire. He will always be changing us, molding us into His image. This is what strengthens us as believers and what deepens our faith in Him. Life with God is not all prosperity and no struggles. Life with God is not all joy and no pain. We will suffer, we will hurt, we will be tried. It is not all sunshine and lollipops. So expect the tests, expect the storms and expect adversities. But you know what God offers in return? Blessings of victory, rainbows after the rain and triumphs over obstacles. So hang in there, keep praying, and keep believing! And be assured that God is moving in your life and whatever plan He has for you...well expect it to be spectacular.
