hearing His voice

wah i should be ever so flattered.
==================================

Anyhow, really back to God's will and all. Things that spoke to me from the book...Hearing God's voice by Henry Blackaby...again.

1) there's a difference between perceived needs and real needs man may have.
Which means, what u think u need, God may think, "No, you don't need it" or
"I want you to struggle for a while first".
Many examples in the bible in Chronicles
and Kings on this.

2) when your will too far off from God's will, that's where, the prayer
is not answered.

3) When prayer is meant to make u learn who God is even more. (an example of people who are spiritual and right before God praying for their loved one to return to health but he/she wont because simply God wants them to release him/her to Him. And they had to learn to trust that He would care for their loved one in his own divine way)

4) Accepting God's "No" is a mark of faith and trust and maturity.

5) Yiyi, Matt, Jane (3 gals) at Grace T's wedding today happened to mention
the same thing which was "Trust God" and "Wait for your job to arrive......" which
is really really....probably the hardest thing for me to do. In all aspects of life.
Waiting. I prob have to wait a few more months for my next stable job.
or maybe even longer!!....but anyhow....i would rather have my life in the best/most perfect will of God.

6) Unconfessed sin makes our prayers useless.

7) Lack of faith renders prayers useless.
