GOD, JUST FREAKED ME OUT WITH THIS!!!
So a few days ago, I shared this in a blog:
“God knows every thought I think! This morning, while listening to my prayer on YouTube, it said that God always answers our prayers. I thought to myself, ‘Nope! That’s not true!’ And I thought of how many times God politely told me a big no to my prayers and instead would politely say to me, ‘My grace is sufficient, My Nik!’”
Fast forward to today, my sweetie sister, Kelly, sends me a message about how she opened up a random book she just so happenned to walk by, and this incredibly showed up:
“The Problem: When God Says No
There are times when the one thing you want is the one thing you never get. You’re not being picky or demanding; you’re only obeying his command to “ask God for everything you need” (Phil. 4:6). All you want is an open door or an extra day or an answered prayer for which you will be thankful.
And so you pray and wait.
No answer.
You pray and wait,
No answer,
You pray and wait.
May I ask a very important question? What if God says no? What if the request is delayed or even denied? When God says no to you, how will you respond? If God says, “I’ve given you my grace, and that is enough (Wink! Wink!),” will you be content?”
Wow! Wow! Wow! How could my sister in the Bahamas randomly open a book and say I will read whatever shows up on page 130, and it’s in complete alignment with what I shared this week from Nigeria about how God speaks to me? God is pretty talkative, and His Spirit is with us all! It’s just for us to be attentive to His voice, recognize His responses-including ‘no’-and most importantly, KNOW that His grace and Presence are sufficient for us to navigate our lives.
That’s the greatest news we have about rolling with God on the daily: God Himself is our constant companion. We handle nothing alone! We have God’s help, support, kindness, love, protection, wisdom, tact, personality, charm, favor, angels, and wonderful grace available to us on a moment-by-moment basis, which should fill you with a sense of security and deep closeness.
That’s why I am committed to my God-morning routine, baby! I love the prayer on YouTube from Daily Prayer with God, while running up and down the stairs of our home for 45 minutes. Then I sit by our prayer altar for some quiet time, reading from our family’s website, werollwithgod.com, and some of my favorite meditation books. NOTHING BETTER THAN STARTING YOUR DAY IN ALIGNMENT WITH GOD!! This routine helps me feel grounded in faith and connected with God, and I pray it encourages you to find your own daily God morning routine. Let’s go!
BE GREAT EVERY DAY…WE ROLL WITH GOD
