Yes or No

Hello again! Not quite the last day of the month, but we are close! This is a great time to prepare for the next month. Let's not bring any old baggage into the month of November. Well, it is great practice to start anew each day. Today, we will free ourselves of all that have us bound. Best way to do that is give it to God. How? Talk to Him in prayer. I am definitely guilty of not utilizing my privilege of communing with God lately. This semester has been so topsy turvy, I have been doing and trying every other way to get answers or escape. God stunningly reminded me that only He can give me the answers I need. Notice I said, need. Oftentimes, we go to God "searching" for the right path when we really want Him to tell us what we want to hear. His answers will not always be, yes. Whatever He is keeping us from is for protection. God is not trying to be mean when He says no. We have to pray being just as open to His no as we are to His yes. The only constant yes we need to keep in mind is a repetitive yes to His Will no matter what.

So take this time to free yourself of yourself. Think about what exactly you are asking God for. What if He doesn't give it to you? Are you going to pout or shout in gratitude? Yes, shout gratitude because again we should be just as happy when He says no as we are when He says, yes. An answer from God is good whether we like it or not. He doesn't have to talk to us in the first place. Furthermore, if we don't want to hear an answer then we shouldn't ask the question, right? So, whether it is yes or no be thankful anyway. It's not our will, remember?
