God spoke to me through a quote this past week.
Person #1 (speaking to Person #2) "You pray like you expect an answer."
Person #2 "That's the best way to get one."
I can see the obvious lesson from this quote would be to pray and believe you will get an answer; and that's a great way(the only way) to pray. But for my lesson, it was more than that. My lesson was about the answer. I find myself so focused on the "thing" I have prayed for that I make it so difficult, when really it's very simple. There are three answers - Yes, No, or Wait. Instead of me focusing on the "thing" I can keep it simple and just wait for one of those three actions from God. God has shown me that the answer is not the "thing", it's His action in my life.
This might not make sense to you, but for me it sort of simplified things and allowed my heart to focus on just talking to God and not get hung up on the "thing". I was just in a place where God needed to show me something about my prayer life, reminding me that it is simple conversation between me and my Creator.
