The Appointed Time

Listen to the Audio

In October our message was on writing out prayers and as we went through the month we discussed the idea of turning these prayers into love letters to God, that are written from the heart. During October I saw God miraculously answer much of what I had written out, but there were many times when I wanted a prayer answered within a certain deadline and in almost every case the prayers were answered after the deadline. 

And almost every time when the deadline had already passed there was the temptation to quit and give up. Something I am learning is NOT to get defeated by time. Often we are believing for something to happen and when it doesn't happen in the timing we want there is the tendency to give up or get discouraged. This is simply getting defeated by time. Even if a deadline has already passed God can still do the impossible. 

God has an appointed time for everything and the timing may not be for us to know. It is for God to decide when the perfect time is. Our job is to stay in faith and love and keep doing good, trusting that at the perfect time God will bring things to pass. So an adjustment I am making on prayers is to take my timelines off of them. 

I am praying for you.
