6) Patience is accepting a difficult situation from God without giving him a deadline to remove it.
I whine back: " But God, isn’t giving you a deadline another way of exercising our faith? When I’m believing for you to bring me out of all my troubles real fast, like in, before they even happen? Isn't that what you expect me to do?
7) To realise the worth of the anchor, I need to feel the storm.
I whine back: “ God don’t you really mean the weight of an anchor and not the worth? Because seriously, it’s only the weight of the anchor I’m feeling right now and as for the worth, well yes, * in a small and almost inaudible voice* I feel that too, but really Lord, it’s the weight I’m feeling more. Also, If you say I need to feel the storm first, well ok Lord, you’re the boss of the storms."
8) Sometimes He calms the storm, sometimes He lets it rage and calms me His child instead.
I whine back: “awwwww Loooorrd!! Please don’t calm me, just get rid of the storms pleeaaaase! I’m not the problem, the storm is! I'm doing fine and then these horrid storms come and start raging at me, what did I do to them? See Lord, without the storms I’m the best daughter you could ever ask for! So, lets just deal with this enemy once and for all and everyone will be fine." Thank you father.
9) Worry pulls tomorrows clouds over todays sunshine.
I whine back: “Ok God, I promise not to worry anymore if you'll just wipe out those nasty clouds before they even show up, and let me enjoy the sunshine of everyday” . Thanks again dad! *smiling in anticipation*
10) It’s wonderful what God can do with a broken life, if He gets all the pieces.
I say back: " God, I've given you every piece of my life and I can’t find any piece left, so you must have them all already on your potters wheel. If not, I'll keep walking in your light so as to discover them and place them in your hands. Meanwhile, I'll be pregnant with expectation in faith.
Finally God, thanks a bunch for your patience with me, I'm glad I can come to you always and be myself.
I can pour out my heart all I want and you'll listen to me lovingly and patiently because you'll always love me. Thank you Lord that because Your life saved my life, I'm free now to become all you called me to be. Amen.
Oh and Lord, Please don't forget to take care of those clouds, storms, weights, hot places, sour places, big places ... etc and any other new names my enemies may camouflage under. (I know..I whine again) lol
THANK YOU LORD.
