I have this little notebook I carry around in my purse at all times. Sometimes a page in it becomes my grocery list, and other times my canvas when writing a song. You never know when you might be inspired, so I like to be prepared. I have been known to use the notebook for taking notes in chapel and church, or to write reminders and to-do lists for myself. It is quite the multi-functional little thing.
Anyhow, this morning I was flipping through it, crossing out old grocery and to-do lists and writing a new one for today when I found this little quote. I don't know where or even when I heard it, but it was interesting so I thought I'd share it.
"If you pray for rain... be prepared for a little mud."
God doesn't always answer our prayers the way we expect, but His Word tells us that He hears, and that He wants us to bring all of our requests to Him (Philippians 4:6, 1 Peter 5:7). Our Father is good and He does good things for His children (Matthew 7:9-12). Don't let the possibility of a little mud keep you from praying for the rain!Labels: prayer, quotes, reflections
