Do you sometimes pray and feel that God is not listening?  I do-but that’s because I’m impatient!  I was in one of those frames of mind when God led me to my Promise Box.  

 

Here’s what He put in my hand….

 

“And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I WILL hear.” -Isaiah 65:24

 

But He knew I needed a little more, so I inadvertently pulled out two.  Here’s what the other one said….

 

“Thou, O Lord, shall guide me with your counsel and afterward receive me to glory.” -Psalm 73:24  This one was also accompanied with a small poem.

 

“My knowledge of that life is small,

The eye of faith is dim;

But it’s enough that Christ knows all-

And I shall be with Him.”

 

Sometimes our eyes of faith grow dim and all we see is our situation; but God see everything, and He will bring us through our troubles!  He know what we are about to ask Him in prayer, and He already has a solution to our problem.  So take heart!  He hears, and He will answer according to His will!

 

As I was writing this, God reminded me of an old country song sung by Garth Brooks called “Unanswered Prayers.”  The chorus goes like this….

 

REMEMBER THAT THE NEXT TIME YOU GET IMPATIENT!!
