Part 3 in our Introduction to Prayer Series
Challenge yourself to listen for God in a way that you may not be expecting. That is, know that God speaks in quieter ways many times. Do not refuse something good simply because you cannot be sure it is from God. Next, remember to tell your story so that yours may help another as those before you have told their stories to help you.
We will continue to be frustrated with things that will sometimes cause us to be downtrodden. And we realize that frustration is never completely going away just because we have God on our side. “Elijah does not have to give up his frustration, but God will not let him give in to it” (FOTW C.3.151). This is your next challenge today as well. Do not give into your frustration. Do not let your frustrations either prevent you from coming to God, or from coming to God with the wrong attitude. Elijah wanted to die, but God showed him that he just needed food. Our attitude is to be one of hope, but even when we cannot have that hope, we still come to God because God will still be there to feed us, to care for us, and point us to where we need to go. God will never let us go. God loves us too much. May all honor and glory be to God. Thanks be to God. Amen.
