The prayer I need answered is getting close to its deadline. God knows all about it. I haven’t pestered Him about it day in and day out, but I have definitely continued to remind Him.
The other day I reminded Him . . . again . . . but this time there was a tint of fear behind my words. I want to believe Him and trust Him, but . . . what if (fill in the blank)?
What if I hold on to the truth that God will direct my path (Proverbs 3:6), and then He doesn’t show up in time?
What if, as I have declared to others that God will tell me what to do (Matthew 10:32-33), I look stupid?
What if I get it wrong and go in a direction other than His plan for me (Romans 8:28)?
The next morning I had a conversation with someone who had a possibility for the answer I am seeking. Then that afternoon came a phone call with another possibility.
I am not sure yet if either of these possibilities are God’s answer to my prayer, but they were gentle reminders that He is still here. He still hears me. Even when I think He is not being proactive, He is right in the middle.
I thanked God for His reminder that He is God, and He is still here.
How has God subtly spoken to you to remind you that He is still here?
