Girls let me start off first by saying that when we write our blogs every week, the messages that we are assigned to write about in the book are messages that go to us first. What I mean by that is, (I am sure that the other Bloggers will say the same thing), what we have to write about is usually something that God is working with us on, in our own lives and to say it best\u2026we have to take our own medicine, first. It reminds me of what my old Pastor used to say\u2026\u201dFirst to the messenger.\u201d We have all been wowed by our Blog titles and subjects during this study! God is amazing like that!<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s topic, \u201cbe willing to accept yes or no\u201d, was one that I really needed myself and so, I can better write about it because it is truly something that I am dealing with now. It can be hard to wait on God\u2019s answer to a prayer that you really want Him to answer! You pray and then you wait: ( I can\u2019t begin to tell you how hard it is trying to hear what God\u2019s answer is to a request. I have learned over the years that you CAN NOT rush God<\/span><\/strong><\/em>! He is ALWAYS going to move when He is ready! He is going to move in His own timing<\/em><\/strong>! He knows what is best for us and we have to keep on trusting Him.<\/p>\n

God KNOWS what is BEST for YOU!<\/strong><\/em> : ) I think that getting an answer of \u201cNo\u201d from God is the hardest answer to receive from Him, but when your prayers aren\u2019t answered the way that you think they should be, God provides comfort. I love how the author of this book, Ava Sturgeon, says that when the answer is \u201cno\u201d\u2026\u201dHe\u2019s promised never to leave you\u201d, even when the answer is \u201cno\u201d. \u00a0Whatever His answer is, it will always be the BEST thing for us in the long run<\/em><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"1<\/a>

1 Thessalonians 5:18<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

God wants you to come to Him for EVERYTHING<\/strong>! He wants to be included in EVERY\u00a0<\/strong>aspect of your life! He loves you so much<\/em>!! Talk to Him like you talk with your friends and family. He doesn\u2019t want to be left out : (<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s pray:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for always having our best interest at heart. Help us to be able to receive Your answers to our prayers whether it is a yes or a no. We know that You love us and want what is best for us. Help us to have a heart that trusts You dear Lord. We thank You in advance and we are asking these things in Your darling Son Jesus Christ\u2019s name. Amen.<\/p>\n

Love, Ms. Tonya : )<\/p>\n
