Sometimes The Miracle Is Different Than What You Asked For

The prayer was heard. The answer just looked different than you imagined.

Your prayer: “Please make this work”

God’s answer: “No, but I have something better”

Your prayer: “Bring them back”

God’s answer: “I removed them on purpose. Trust me.”

Because you’re not ready for what I’m preparing

– Jacqueline Whitney

Your prayer: “Give me a sign”

God’s answer: sends 5 signs

You: misses all of them

Your prayer: “Why is this taking so long?”

God’s answer: “Because you’re not ready for what I’m preparing”

Your prayer: “I can’t do this anymore”

God’s answer: “Good. Now let me do it.”

Your prayer: “When?”

God’s answer: “My timing. Not yours.”
