God hears me

One night last week I found myself laying in bed late at night talking with God. I was asking him for something that I have asked him for many times before and still have not gotten. As soon as I asked God the question I would then say, but I know you want me to be patient so I will. I went back and forth with the question and that statement a few times and the went to sleep.

The next day God gave me what I asked for. It was not in the form that I would have liked to have it in, but alas he still gave it to me. I kind of laughed about the situation later because I know God sure was when he gave it to me. I can just see him now with a smile on his face saying "You asked for it, so here it is...literally." I could have easily been made about the way God answered me but I wasn't. Instead I was happy to know that God heard me.

I don't think I have ever gotten an answer to my question as quickly as I did last week. God saw me pose the question, but then remind myself to be patient. I was content with being patient and God rewarded me for it. I know that God will answer my question in the way I truly mean it one day, but I'm not ready for yet.

I think I am getting better at this patience thing after all...
