Knowing the will of God in prayer helps us pray effectively. Understanding his timing is key too. And in the end listening to, trusting & accepting his answers- yes, not now, much later, no, etc, brings contentment.

True. It is hard to embrace it, but when we do then that contentment comes. I guess it’s a peace knowing and accepting that HE knows best!
Thanks for stopping by π

Sometimes not knowing the whole picture lets us into the whole story, but that apparent limbo is, as you say, a painful place. It is inspiring that you tell the story without making a final resolution – life is like that more than the problem sorted all out, I think.
And I am always inspired when I hear Laura’s song on the radio.
Peace

Yes that is a beautiful song.
I think your perspective is interesting, but I agree. We have to come to an acceptance that God’s will is best, even before we know what the resolution is. In this case she passed away a week later. Still a tough blow for my friend, but prayerfully she will continue to cling to God for her comfort.

JC, I love that you said to “listen.” When I went through about twelve years of infertility before finally giving birth to our first son I did not need sermons or advice when I was hurting. I just needed someone to listen on my down days and give me a hug. God was gracious to me and gave me a friend who also was waiting on the Lord for something big. We comforted each other and prayed faithfully for one another. It was such a respite to have a safe place where I could be myself and would not be told the usual cliches. Now that friend and I pray for each other as we live with the answers to our prayers. π

That friend sounds like a true ‘gift’. I have one like that too π And I treasure her to pieces. I am sure it is beautiful to have endured the prayers and the ‘answers’ together π

I love how your words are always infused with love and praise for the Lord. Truly…my own walk is…challenging at the moment. However…that is not the point…the point is I love your posts and in this one my favorite was your writing of “God’s finesse” He most definitely does have “finesse” down perfectly (no surprise there)!) I had just never heard it put that way. Thank you for sharing this story and for listening to me ramble. Life has been crazy but I am so very hopeful…prayerful that I will be able to visit more often. Hugs and Blessings to you dearest friend!! ~
