I was devestated about a prayer that I put so much faith in. Ok, this is superficial, but my medication is taken from by my mom, and sometimes I need it when she doesnt give it to me. God before has taken care of this, and gave me a quiet voice "im here, covering" and he did! i was almost so shocked it happened, my mom would have caught me in a second.
But at times, a think god know's best, i put alot of faith in a prayer to get medication for a exam the next day, i couldnt, the dose im on doesnt work well. I realized that if i would have got it out, it would have ran out, and i would have been caught. God knew that, i was shocked. Putting faith into something too much and then it not happening can hurt, like a mirrage. But Christ always knows the time, and when its best to awnser the prayer.
God has done things in the past, but we tend to look at the negitive what hasent been awnsered and wonder why. I keep in mind all the times God awnsered prayer, when it seems faithless.
Having faith in something can make it happen with prayer, but sometimes, where shocked becuase it wasnt awnsered the way it was asked, sometimes devested, but know that God knows the best. I get cought up almost obsessed with faith, and i think im going too far, it isnt suppost to be this way.
The holy spirit I ask for guidaice many times, am i thinking right?
Anyways, i just wanted to update and now have advice on faith and prayer.
God Bless.
Matt
