Sometimes it's hard to remember that God does not always say yes to our prayers. The first time I can remember God telling me no was about seven years ago. My family and I lived in Virginia for a time, and I really enjoyed the life that we had. As God would have it, we were not meant to stay there. I began to seek God and ask Him to please send us a miracle that would allow us to stay in Virginia and not have to move, and I fully expected for God to answer my prayers and honor my request. Even as we packed, I remember thinking, surely God will show. He always does. As we settled into our new home in another state, still distraught over the move, I realized God had told me no. At first I didn't understand. It was years later that God spoke to me and said, "My grace was sufficient." I saw in that moment that I was a better person for that move. Even now I continue to grow in ways I couldn't have imagined all those years ago. It's not an easy thought to accept, but it is in our weakness that God is truly made strong. Sometimes it's immediately revealed, and at other times we don't see the glory or God for that matter, in a situation for what can feel like a lifetime. But the most important thing to remember when God denies our whims and desires is that He has not denied us. Not only has he not denied us, but also that when God closes one door He opens up another and pours out blessings that we don't even have a room big enough to receive.
Hebrew 10:39
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
