I lost my keys, again, I need to be writing an essay, I need to go to the library, and I must hurry to get my kids, and I cannot find my keys. Frantically I look through the flat, no luck….
Hang on a minute, what good is it to be a friend of an omniscient ruler of the universe if He can’t help you locate the keys….
Father, I have lost the keys, please help me find them…. Then I do something strange, I don’t stop and listen, I keep looking I keep rummaging through the children’s toys, I am getting angry and sad. Why would God not help me, is he holding out on me? An hour later, I sigh in defeat. – I can’t do this! As I start working up courage to go tell Margret that I lost yet another set of keys, I feel a stirring in my spirit, my eyes focus and I am looking at my keys, right there on the kitchen counter, under a paper from Angelina’s school.
If I had only stopped and listened from the beginning. If I had only trusted in God’s heart.
I vow to myself, again, to remember that God answers prayer and that I must live that way.
