It is easy to praise the Lord for something you expected him to do, but the praise doesn't come so easy when it appears that the Lord has denied your request.
Has there ever been a time when you put a request before the Lord, and nothing seemed to change? You prayed, cried, questioned God's plan and even your existence? Yet, things continued to look as if nothing was going to change.
It is during those moments that the God is giving you a "hidden blessings."
The blessings of going through this stage is that when we deny our perceptions of what we should have and in what time frame, we can clearly see God's plan. We can see that God did not ignore our request but He was setting us up for something greater.
If God didn't care about his children, He would grant every need, desire, and or want without a second thought on how the granting would effect our very being. But God does care, and that is why he protects and shields us from things we don't even know we need protecting from (most times ourselves).
God is so awesome!
It you have been seeking the Lord for a need, desire, and or want, be patient! You may cry and go down the road of misunderstanding, but know that God has everything in control.
Romans 8:25-27 says: But if we hope for that we see not , then do we with patience wait for it. Likewise the spirit is also helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
I will end with TRUST GOD through every process, He knows what is best!
