Praise God I Don't Get Everything I Want

PSALM 66:8-9



Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.



It has been a rough couple of days. These last two days has found me laid up with a horrible head cold. Ironically I got it from the doctor's office. I had an appointment for something else and my daughter had an appointment the same day. It was a couple hours after the last appointment that my defenses became weak and I felt awful. I think my conversation with God was something like this, "God, just cut my head off!" Aren't you thankful He doesn't answer every prayer in the manner we ask?



That is just how our Heavenly Father is. He knows what is best for us. Afterall, would we give our kids a bag of candy everyday when they asked, knowing it isn't healthy for them? No, we would give them what is good and healthy for them, balanced meals. They may ask for it thinking they know what is best. It is our job to help them make the right choices. God wants us to make the right choices. He knows what the outcome will be if we don't.



So today thank Him for your prayers that didn't get answered according to your will. Because that means He spared you pain in the future. God Bless!
