We are like children. It doesn’t matter how old we get, it
seems we still act like children when it comes to our prayers.
Our Creator gives us His love; He gives us what we need. It isn’t
enough for us. We want more. We treat Him like an ATM machine or Santa Claus. We
want Him to give us things instead of trying to form a true loving, lasting
friendship with Him.
Then, when He doesn’t answer our prayers the way we think He
should answer our prayers, we go off mad and pout like the spoiled children
that were are.
“Fine, if you won’t give me what I want, I will not talk to
you!”
When we get punished, we are shocked and hurt. Then we start
crying, “Why did you do this to me? Have mercy!”
I have a friend who has shown this to me recently and I
thank our Creator for the lesson. I know that our Creator gives me what he knows is best for
me. He takes care of me. He gives me what I need. And sometimes, He even gives
me my heart’s desire. I pray that I can keep this lesson in my heart and
forever be grateful for all the good things that He is doing in my life and all
the good things he has done in the past. And when trials do come, as they will,
I pray that I will see the lesson and not feel like I’m being punished.
Every day has its own trials and tests and I pray that I can
keep my eyes on His love and the lessons He brings me and stop thinking about
the rest.
