This is a wonderful post and speaks ...Hi Michelle,<br /><br />This is a wonderful post and speaks directly to my heart. I have this book and it is a great read. It must have been awesome to have Don Piper come and speak directly to all of you.<br /><br />"Sometimes the answer is "yes", sometimes it is "later".....sometimes it is "I've got even more than you are asking for".....<br /><br />.....sometimes, that answer is just "no". Because "no" still is an answer, is it not?" <br /><br />So true...I certainly have experienced all of the answers you listed above on so many occasions. <br /><br />When I feel the answer is no, I continue to press into my Lord despite whatever the answer may be. He is my life, my love, my everything. All of my trust is in Him...so when times are really hard, and they have been for a long period of time due to health issues with myself, husband and our family...a long endurance of pain and suffering has been going on, but at the same time I've grown to love Him even more...trust Him even more...love Him even more. I rest in knowing that all is being taken care of by Him and that whatever prevails, whatever answer comes, it is the right answer because it comes from Him.<br /><br />The trials, the long endurance, the testing, the suffering and so much more...only makes me stronger in my walk, faith, belief and love for Him. I want to be that person who radiates who He is...what He wants us to be...It's about surrendering our will and living totally in His.<br /><br />May I mirror his reflection and shine brightly to others who He is through me and I in Him forever. May I fulfill His purpose for my life here on earth in the purest and highest levels humanly possible for I love Him so passionately with all of who I am.<br /><br />You have touched me deeply through this post dear friend and it is very timely as well.<br /><br />I became a follower of yours quite some time ago. I would be honored if you became a follower of mine at my site if you felt let to do so.<br /><br />Thank you for blessing me today.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />AlleluiabelleAlleluiabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737663459139575676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817241909677069838.post-68088882998858962242010-03-30T10:56:01.753-04:002010-03-30T10:56:01.753-04:00Too many times to count.

I am unsure of the "wait" because it appears that God is saying "not yet." I don't like the "no" because that means God doesn't agree with what I want. Now...when I come down off my high horse and think I know what is best, I understand that the "no" is because (as you say) God knows best. Trouble is I could save myself a whole bunch of headaches if I would just accept His "no" and be done with it.Bill (cycleguy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09082407231475058958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817241909677069838.post-37664010163794293102010-03-29T14:05:35.907-04:002010-03-29T14:05:35.907-04:00If the truth be told, I'm one of those people ...If the truth be told, I'm one of those people who likes things my own way.

It must make a difference to have been given that chance of seeing heaven? Because if I did, too, it's probably easier to accept His "no" to some prayers... :)<br /><br />I think reevaluating our faith helps us to understand why He says "no". Then, I understand now that something not answered is not truly His will for me.

I try to work my own will into a situation and I beg and pester God and sometimes stomp my feet and cry ...it's hard to hear no. Most of the time in hindsight I can see the reason. And I can see that there was something better or I can see how a yes answer might not have been good for me. <br /><br />But there is one particular situation that is still not clear to me. And I'm pretty sure its not going to be clear to me this side of heaven. I like to think though that when I get to heaven I will have an a-ha moment. Not sure if that's how it will work but I like to think so : )<br /><br />I read 90 minutes in Heaven...interesting book for sure!
