I have a daily Quiet Time which entails prayer, reading from the Bible and then I read two devotional books by Oswald Chambers and A.W. Tozer. I have read Oswald Chambers for years, I have worn out at least three of the " My Utmost, For His Highest" devotional books. He wrote this," If we are obsessed by God, nothing can get into our lives- not concerns, not tribulation, nor worries. And now we understand why our Lord emphasized the sin of worrying. How can we dare to be so absolutely unbelieving when God totally surrounds us? To be obsessed by God is to have an effective barricade against all the assaults of the enemy."
What or whom am I obsessed with?

 
            :Russell Kelfer wrote this poem called
              Praise for the Planner, Praise for the Plan
  You are who you are for a reason.
   You’re part of an intricate plan.
   You’re a precious and perfect unique design,
   Called God’s special woman or man
 
You look like you look for a reason.
 Our God made no mistake.
 He knit you together within the womb,
  You’re just what he wanted to make.
           
 The parents you had were the ones he chose,
 And no matter how you may feel,
 They were custom-designed with God’s plan in
  mind, and they bear the Master’s seal.
 
  No, that trauma you faced was not easy.
  And God wept that it hurt you so;
  But it was allowed to shape your heart
   So that into his likeness you’d grow.
           
   You are who you are for a reason,
   You’ve been formed by the Master’s rod.
   You are who you are, beloved,
   Because there is a God![i]

SO what have YOU prayed for – and so far- it hasn’t happened?
 Remember: GOD HAS A
      BIGGER PERSPECTIVE. May be protecting you from an unforeseen
      BETTER PLAN – the story hasn’t ended yet.
      GREATER PURPOSE – right now He’s working on you!
      He will give you the grace/power to handle that situation!
Ps. 9:10 “Those who know you, Lord, will trust you! You do not abandon anyone who comes to you!”          
If you don’t trust God when he says NO, it means you really don’t know him. So what are you going to do about it?                        
You know we could have so many more ministries if only those who know would stand up and do so. But so many are sitting around waiting for a flash of lighting, for someone to ask, what a shame to waste God’s purpose and plan for you and His kingdom because….

EXPECT God to give his grace to handle his answer.
  Grace is God’s power to handle pain and do what’s right anyway.
  Even Apostle Paul didn’t get all his prayers answered:
2 COR.12:8-10 (Paul) “Three times I prayed to the Lord about this and asked him to take it away. But his answer was: "My grace is all you need, for my poweris greatest when you are weak." So I gladly boast about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power can flow through me! ...For when I am weak, then I am strong!” 
Some  have prayed for certain things for many , many years:
Maybe a physical problem; a relational problem; for a spouse to be saved;
For financial freedom; but so far it hasn’t happened:
 Everything important I’ve learned through pain!
I’ve learned nothing from pleasure. It is  Criticism versus Compliments!
  The thing I’ve prayed about most- God has chosen to not come through –YET! You want to know what that is? REVIVAL!
