I remember a time I has asked God for something and he didn’t
give it to me. I was 10 years old, my sister 11 and she was about 2 inches
taller than me. I remember praying every day that year in our daily prayers
asking the Lord to make me as tall as her.
Unexpectedly I didn’t grow much that year as my sister grew
even taller and I knew my prayers were not answered. So I stopped asking for
that wish and resigned to the fact that she would always be elder and taller.
When I turned 13 I had grown to be the tallest in the
family. My sister stayed 5’0 for the rest of her life (though she still is the
biggest person in our family) proving good things do come in small packages. I went
on to be 5’8.
You see my prayers were not answered and thank God for that.
God deferred the wish but gave me more than what I had asked for. 8 inches more
to be precise. He loves us deeply and hears our prayers but that does not mean
he will always give us what we ask for. Just be sure that if your wishes were
not fulfilled its because he wants to give us something better.
