It's hard to pray and not try to fix things. Especially for the old fixer like me. I have felt like Abraham who when God spoke to him trusted God on "the big things" but daily struggles in which God didn't speak to him he tried to get out of by himself. And let's face it, don't we all do that? All of us look for ways to get out of the struggle without consulting with God first. And that is where I am really learning to rely on Him. I have for instance worried about the roofer (of all things!) but the minute I prayed about hearing from the roofer and let God work on it then I heard from the roofer and arranged for him to come. Now whether or not he makes it, I'm not going to sweat it because God has it. When I truly turned over selling my house in SC to God, I immediately heard that I had an offer. As long as I fretted and fussed....I knew God listened but I pictured Him with a spoon cooking gumbo or etoufee, turning to me to say,"Now...this is ready...are you?"
Thank God for His eternal mercy!!!
