"Daniel knew his God, yet God never ceased surprising him. Dear One, please don't assume that God will always work in your life the way He always has. A sunset is proof that God colors outside the lines. He has no status quo. Even the laws of nature are His to interrupt. As many times as youv'e prayed before, today may be the day when God sends the answer so swiftly--so divinely--that you're windburned...God doesn't have voice mail. He doesn't check His messages when He gets a minute. We're not put on hold and told all calls will be answered in the order received. We don't have to wait until someone else finishes for ours to be heard. When we bring our earnest confessions and petitions before God, while we are still praying, He hears."
I like to place visuals around my house that draw my attention to pray. They don't hold any special spiritual significance...they just remind me to pray. The full caption regarding the picture below is to be continued. But when you see it, will you join me in lifting your hands in prayer? The picture is also meant to mark the date for me. One day I'll look back on this date and be reminded that our Lord Jesus hears! That moment may be soon or it may be in eternity, but one day I will know the depth of His answer. And so I will lift my hands in prayer.
Truthfully all of God's attributes are incomprehensible. But among them, His desire for intimacy is most astounding. I can't wrap my heart around the idea...but I want to! Lord please help my unbelief. Increase my faith.
