Caleb you've been eavesdropping around my prayers a couple days ago. I'd finished a fast a couple days prior and ended up in the hospital again for the umpth-tenth time!! I was driving myself home and decided I couldn't over-think prayer and saying to God what was truly on my heart. So I started with, “God you don't have a formula for how I'm supposed to ask you for things. You're not trying to trick me like whatever I pray is going to put me in the back of the line. You're not the one saying, “Nope, you didn't say it right so I can't do it” How frustrated I too have been with unanswered prayers, rials and sufferings and then I had to acknowledge to God that my conditioning came out of an abusive past and overbearing church. I realized I wasn't trusting God for anything concerning me- I was hopeful that He knew me, He saw me and would minister because “He knows our needs before we ask…” and because my needs were left unmet as a child, I didn't feel I was worthy to receive anything- He'd decide when I could be blessed. I repented. I repented to God for treating him like the people who abandoned, wounded, manipulated me and didn't attend to my aid. The next morning, God took me to Acts 1-4 NLT just a particular sentence He highlighted …” DO NOT LEAVE JERUSALEM UNTIL THE FATHER SENDS YOU THE GIFT HE PROMISED.” The next morning, He highlighted this part in Luke 1:11 NLT, “ DON'T BE AFRAID (ZACHARIAH) THE LORD HAS HEARD YOUR PRAYER. Be encouraged Caleb.
