So, there is something that I have been praying for and about for several months. I can't lie, there were times when I began to become very impati
ent. But in those moments, I would take a deep breath, pray again, and wait.
The other day, I was doing some work on my laptop, and clear as day, a voice spoke to me and said, "It's coming!" I got so excited, to the point where I almost had a panic attack because I knew that was God's voice! To be honest, I didn't know exactly what was coming but it had to be something good! Maybe an hour later, my phone made an email alert. Generally, I would have ignored it, but something told me to look at it. When I saw the header of the email, I thought to myself, "Could this be? Is this what I have been praying on for months?" I reluctantly opened it because I had gotten so used to disappointment, that I didn't want to allow myself to get excited. I took a deep breath, in preparation of a letdown, and opened the email. And wouldn't you know it! It was what I have been waiting for! It was a small win for a food blogger! I was ecstatic!
I immediately thanked God and shed a small tear! I had to ask myself though, am I really ready for what I ask of God. Why did I ask myself that? Well, whom much is given, much is required. Am I prepared for what comes with the blessing? Am I prepared to put in the work to keep the blessing? I can honestly say YES, I AM! But how often do we think about what happens once the blessing has been received? Often times, we get caught up in the prayer that we seem to get lost in the prepar
ation. Now THAT was a word!
Pray for that thing that you want and/or need but also be prepared to receive it once it comes!
Be blessed!
