Frustration, Plans, & Prosperity

9/30/2015

0 Comments

 
"'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.'" -Jeremiah 29:11-12 (NASB)
​Sometimes my daughter gets frustrated when I don't know what she is saying or don't understand what she is talking about.  While I don't provoke the frustration intentionally, I realize that I need to help her understand how to deal with it.  We can sometimes react with frustration when we think God isn't listening or responding to our prayers quickly enough, but that doesn't mean God isn't listening!

Like my daughter when she is frustrated that I'm not understanding her, we can be frustrated when we think God isn't listening or not understanding us.  We sometimes try to impose our will, thinking we know what is best.  What we really need is to be aware of God's plan.  God reassures us that He is listening.  He has plans for our lives.  He wants what is best for us, but we need to talk to Him, listen to Him, call on Him, and follow the plan that He has for each of us.  When we know God and trust His plan, we don't have to be frustrated.  We can be prosperous!

Don't get frustrated!  Call on God, listen to His plans, and allow Him to make you prosperous!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for wanting what is best for me.  Help me to listen to Your plan for my life and guide me in Your ways.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
