There are far more important things God could be attending to. Why would He give me a new job that I like when millions are unemployed and have nothing? Why would He give us more money when there are tons that are homeless and we have a brand new house and car? Why would He bless me with getting on Wipeout? He has far more pressing issues than me getting on a game-show. Right?
Well, I have always thought so. But, what if, He WANTS to do those things just because He does?!? If that were true, I would pray more expectantly. I would pray and expect something. I would pray expecting the very thing I am requesting. Actually, I would pray expecting something far better than what I am asking for, because that is how He could roll, if He chose to.
Don't get me wrong, I am not going to go crazy by asking for winning the lottery, retiring at 28, and my own personal chef. No, those things would be asking a little much. But, I can pray with an expectant heart and see what happens. I think I am growing tired of doubting God. I am tired of playing my own God. He is the freakin' God of the Universe. He created me. I am guessing He could manage to somehow land me a cool job even though it looks impossible at this point.
Okay, starting now, I am going to pray with an expectant heart. Here goes...I am really doing it. What if He doesn't answer?!? What do I do then?!? Shoot....I did it again, expecting nothing. Okay, again- starting now.....GO!
Thanks for the encouragment!
