       Usually when I ask God for answer to something, I find that I have that answer in a couple of days. And that’s the beautiful thing. I don’t look for the answer. I don’t pick up Christian books and seek diligently around hoping to find what I’m looking for. Nah, if I just let it go and wait, hopefully forgetting I even asked, then the answer will appear on its own. It’s a great feeling when all of the sudden you receive an answer out of the blue through a conversation, TV show, or just naturally reading something. Then you think, “I asked God about this yesterday, and here is my answer.” Anytime we try to surmise an answer through our own effort we can be sure that it will most likely be the wrong answer. It may sound good, look good, seem right, but I bet you that what you have concluded isn’t correct. Why did we pray in the first place if we are going to go through all the effort of just trying to do it ourselves? In that case, we didn’t even need to pray. However, when we turn something over to God, we need to leave it turned over to him, and allow him to tell us when the time is right.
