Fearless-Factor - Daniel 10:12

Are you ever afraid that your prayers are not heard? Have you ever prayed from something and nothing happen? Did this cause you to doubt God? Was your faith shaken? God is a Mighty and Just God. His timing is perfect, God is never early and never late. When God takes action it is the precise time He planned it. The same goes with our prayers. We pray many times with a specific answer in mind. When someone is sick we pray for healing, if you are in financial trouble you pray for blessings, if you are in a time of trouble you pray from help. These are all normal prayers. We all do it. We take our wants to the father. We think we have matured with age. But, we are no different as adults than we were as children. As a child we asked our parents for everything. We asked for new toys, new books/comics, candy. But we never seemed to ask for the things we needed. As a child, we never asked for 3 meals a day. We never asked for a roof over our heads. But our parents always tried to supply what we needed. Then there was the occasional goodie. A candy bar during a trip, a surprise toy at the end of the month, and pack of baseball cards or a comic during a trip to the store. Our Parents tried to bless us when they could. Who did they learn this from? Their parents...sure. But doesn't our Heavenly Father give us everything we need? Yes, God supplies our needs if we trust in him. We need to take a moment and remember where these met needs and blessings are coming from. Well you may say, "I have a good education and a high paying job". Where this may be true, God is behind it all. All Good Things Come From God. When God supplies the blessing there is no worries attached. In Proverbs 10:22 "The Blessing of the Lord brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it." With Gods Blessings there are no strings attached. You are blessed, because of the one who blesses you. God has a desire to bless his people. The Key Word here is bless. God answers our prayers with absolutes. If what we are praying for has additional trouble or strife, God holds the blessing for the right time to allow two things to happen, 1) We are blessed to the fullest and 2) He will receive the Glory. God hears our prayers, we just need to be patient for His Outcome, which is His Blessings. The Fearless Factor for today is Daniel 10:12 "Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God your words were heard and I have come in response to them". Do not be afraid, God hears our prays and is coming to answer them. Be Fearless and Quiet No More. Your Brother in Christ, Trey Ore
