Just a few moments ago i began re-reading some of my prayers that I had written down a few months ago and I was struck with this curious wonderment about how God must hear our prayers. For example, just a few months ago i was praising God for the way he works in my life and how he takes care of me, and for what he is doing through our church. Then a few months later i am righting about how confused I am and trying to discern where to lead the people and all my doubts and frustrations. Sure enough, the prayer I wrote today was about how I know he supplies every need and holds me in his hands.
I can't help but wonder, as my schizophrenic, bipolar prayers reach God's ears if he isn't just ready to say, "ENOUGH ALREADY!" Yet even as I wonder at this, Exodus 14:14 pops into my head that shows us Moses standing between the Israelites and the Red Sea, speaking for God saying "God will fight for you, you need only to be still." God knows that when the people cross the red sea they will be praising him for his goodness, and at the same time he also knows that in just a few short weeks, or even days they will be giving a golden calf the credit for their deliverance from Egypt. Yet he still tells them that he will fight for them.
Once again, God's goodness is overwhelming; I'll have to remember that next month!
