神给的是你所需的,而不总是你所求的

神给你的是你所需的,而不总是你所求的childrenWithToys01 (266 x 177)

我敢打赌你我的父母都很像。他们不会总是你要什么就给你什么,对吧?我父母也不会。他们有时候同意,有时候他们会说我不可以得到我找他们要的那东西。他们通常都会给出很好的解释。有些东西可能要等几个月甚至几年之后才会得到。现在想想,当时我找父母要的东西也许对于我来说还不到时候。天上的神也是以同样的方式来垂听回应我们的祷告。当我们的请求对我们有益并且能帮助我们更好地侍奉神时,神就会赐下我们所求的。当我们的祈求的会伤害我们,或者不会有助于我们与神的同行,他就不会答应。既然神如此了解我们,他知道我们需要什么,而当我们需要时,他可能会答应我们的请求,然后在一段时间之后把它们赐给我们。知道这点很重要。它会在我们祷告时给我们带来希望和信心。

25 GOD GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED,
NOT ALWAYS WHAT YOU PRAY FOR

I bet you had parents like mine. They did not give you everything that you ask them for all the time, did they? Mine didn’t either. They said yes sometimes. Sometimes they said that I could not have what I requested. They always had a pretty good reason why. There were some things I ask for that I did not receive till months or even years later. Looking back, I probably wasn’t ready for those things at the time I ask my parents for them. The God of heaven hears our prayers and answers them in the same way. When our requests are good for us and would help us serve Him better, He gives us what we ask for. When our prayers would hurt us or when it would not help us in our walk with Him, He answers no. Since God knows us so well and He knows what we need and when we need it, He might say yes to our requests and then give them to us at a later time. This is good to know. It gives us hope and confidence when we pray.
