How many times do I think to ask God for something or give something up to Him in prayer, but still I don't trust that He loves me enough to give me what I ask.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17931759486151183225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237841832222241899.post-16684775840347057422012-02-28T13:52:47.754-08:002012-02-28T13:52:47.754-08:00Thank you for challenging words.

I totally know what you mean--though I'm not a natural pessimist, it can be so easy to settle into the mindset of praying without truly expecting God's promises, or forgetting to pray altogether. It's tough, and it's scary, and honestly it doesn't always make sense. I guess that's when I have to remind myself that it doesn't <i>have</i> to make sense, not to me. Someone much greater than me has it under control.<br /><br />You are such a good writer--you articulate your thoughts so thoroughly and well. I really enjoyed reading this...it was thoughtful and honest. (:Jenn Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489681148073963683noreply@blogger.com
