Instead of constantly asking for requests and needs...
What if I started THANKING GOD for answering those needs, BEFORE IT EVEN HAPPENS?
What if I changed my fear-fueled pleas
to thanking Him for what He can and will do?
AND THEN WAITED FOR IT.
What if I changed them from "Lord, please protect my boys online. Please keep bad pictures from them... because I'm scared. Scared of a lifetime of addiction and misery and sin..."
to:
"Lord, I know you love my boys even more than me. I know you have a plan for them, a future and a hope. I know you will not let them be utterly destroyed by sin. Thank you Lord, for protecting them from destructive sin. Thank you Lord, for loving them so much I can give them completely over to you. Thank you Lord for giving me wisdom enough to do what I can, and then leaving the rest in your powerful, all knowing hands. Thank you Lord.
What if I started praying like I'm waiting, not worrying?
What if I stopped praying fearful (whiny?) pleas and started THANKING Him more for His promises?
Just what would happen then?
