I’ve learned that many people just want to feel better when they come into the presence of God. They don’t necessarily want to be filled better. They open up and cry their eyes out, thinking that their tears will provoke God to intervene and change their circumstances. God IS concerned about what concerns you. But it’s not your tears He’s looking for. It’s your faith. What if God decides not to change those circumstances you keep crying to Him about? What if you remain single? What if you stay sick? What if he/she won’t change? What if you keep struggling? What if they leave? What if??? Even if God chooses not to change your circumstances, trust that He can change you. When will you understand that God is not primarily concerned about fixing the things in your life? He wants to fix you. You can’t keep surrendering your stuff to God, without surrendering your heart and expect Him to act like your Shuga Daddy. He wants to be your Heavenly Father. But that’s up to you. God desires you. Do you desire Him or just what He can do for you? If you want a God-product, you have to be willing to submit to a God-process. God’s process is ALWAYS purposed to draw you closer to Him. And as you draw closer to Him, you become more like Him and you learn what really matters. And when you learn what matters, it may even change what you cry and pray about.
