"what if, My child,
My answers to your prayers
look completely different
than what you picture?
what if My answers look
so radically unlike what
you anticipate that
you fail to recognize
them for what they are?
and this is not judgement, child,
but rather simply the result of
being human in your humanity.
remember, My beloved, that
answers to prayers are often
similar to life itself...
a journey is involved.
any movement which
is heading toward Me
is already an answer!
and that which still
appears to be
shards of glass
scattered on the ground
or dried leaves blowing
in the wind is really
My answer already
in progress!
the heart which
from the outside
seems to be in ruins
is actually
redemption in all its
glorious messiness!
for never have I said that
redemption is neat
and orderly. in fact it rarely is.
and remember, My child, that
My thoughts and My ways are
nothing like yours.
they are not even in the same realm,
for I exist in a dimension you cannot
begin to fathom.
and you simply cannot see
the battles being fought in the
unseen spiritual world.
occasionally I give you
glimpses, yet most is
invisible to the human eye.
My beloved child,
sometimes circumstances
appearing to have no redeeming
qualities at best
are what I use as a catalyst for
redemption.
and remember always:
the darkest
moments
of night
are right
before dawn.
continue to pray with
passion and purpose.
never do I ignore a
tear or whisper or
cry of the heart
so praise Me while you pray.
thank Me for what I have done,
for what I am presently doing,
and what I yet will do."
Abba
