Expecting
I know, I know...you read the title to this post and thought, "WHAAAAT? Is Lisa pregnant again?" I confess...I wouldn't be too upset if I were but NO, I'm not "expecting" a baby. What I am expecting is that God will answer my prayers.
I re-read my last post and it seems that God is speaking and He is speaking LOUD and CLEAR. My prayer life lacks. I have been in a mood this week - a blue funk as I described it to my friend. A "poor, poor pity me" mood. I could name a number of things that are the cause but that's really not the point. The point is prayer, or lack thereof.
The scripture from this morning's sermon came from Psalm 5:1-7. The verse that spoke to me was verse 3, "In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation."
How often do I wake and hit the ground running without giving any consideration to prayer? Sadly, all too often.
How often do I pray expecting that God will answer my prayer? Sadly, all too infrequently.
God wants to answer my prayers, probably more than I want His answer. I too frequently choose to handle all of life's problems on my own, which leads me to having weeks and weeks of "blue."
God, forgive me. Forgive me for not bringing all things to you in prayer.
