Hitting A Brick Wall

A friend of mine sent out an e-mail, it's part of her e-mail blog, and it really helped remind me that God is in control of every situation. When it seems like you're praying your hardest, but nothing seems to be happening, that's when we're to trust God the most. He sees every aspect of life, we see a small portion.

I don't suggest you try hitting a brick wall. It doesn't budge, bend, or sway.

I had this experience where I felt like I'd hit a spiritual wall. Recently my girls were working with a couple other girls from Hedges on a Bake Sale. The four of them with the Mom's help seemed to have thought of everything. They had set up at a local lumber yard to entice a good match between fathers, granddaddy's and the tummy. It seemed like a no fail plan.

I was sickish that day. I'd taken my oils and was trying to veg in the truck while keeping one eye open on the kids. An hour had ticked by and not but one customer. At this rate, I thought it will be a long day. I began to pray, every thought and concerned captive to the Lord. Yet, no change. The children need this, they've worked so hard- my plea continued. And then like a spotty cell phone I thought, Hello? Are there.. I was pouring out my heart for these kiddo's and nothing seemed to help. 

Just then the girls joined together in a circle. Holding hands, they bowed their heads and began to pray. I couldn't hear the prayer- yet, I could see the evidence of one in motion. Just then cars drove in one, two, three. Before they could hardly get the Amen out here they came. In droves, all four girls were busy selling. It continued that day at a constant rate. They raised over $500. for a children's home.

Are you on the inside or the outside? My point is this, I was on the outside God heard my prayer and was ready when their hearts were ready. He had to get all of his ducks in a row before the shower of blessing. Because you don't see results, doesn't mean that things are not happening. If you are on the inside, yield to God. Especially, if you don't feel worthy or like you don't have a claim. He is there – waiting – and willing to answer all of us ungrateful spoiled children.

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16
