Putting unrealistic expectations on God

Dear Sister,
I am talking about that "perfect faith" which He places within my heart whenever it is His perfect will to do so!!!

I pray you have a beautiful night all wrapped up in the arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!!! God Bless you tonight and always...Much Love in Christ Jesus!!!

Hey Shifrah,
I really liked that poem. It helped me put things in perspective. It showed me that I have to do my part in this life.

God does things on his terms and on HIS time. Doesn't matter how hard we pray or how bad we want it.

Glad you liked it Karen Leigh.

I agree mojo, it's in God's terms, and no matter how we feel or what position we pray as long as we believe in Him is all that matters.

Christians come in different colors, shapes, sizes and personalities. That is what is so wonderful about our Creator, we aren't made from cookie cutters.

Clay - thank you. Last weekend our Pastor said "The more God answers 'no', the deeper our faith becomes."

That really rings a bell for me. How far does our faith really get if the answer is always yes.

Shif,

So true. I remember asking myself .."if I had to face this fear and depression the rest of my life what will I do"???..As believers we must lean on God for everything. This has been a challenge for me in this area of my life. I just want God to have his way. In my mind I had been wanting to get rid of the feelings. I face that now..I am having a tremendous set back and even feel guilty for not allowing just the WORD to help me through this. I posted in another forum on how you are an encouragement and i really mean it because I see you are a seeker of truth and understand the deception thats out there in Christianity. Thank you for your prayers and you post!.. you and everyone else are in mine. Peace

I agree with what you wrote here.

It show spiritual maturity to lean on God when we don't get things our way too.

Thanks you two.

This discussion leaves me to meditate about using our gifts and faith in times of need.

I know I am more creative and resourceful when the going gets rough!
