I have found over the years that praying is more about me finding what God wants rather than getting him to give me what I want. Nevertheless, there are often times that what I think I need is indeed what I need.
On one such occasion when I was working at Toys R Us I was very tired and frustrated with the job. It was very stressful and I was not sleeping well. One morning I got up around 4:30 and was praying in that God would give me some sign that this job was where as was suppose to be, that He would give some sign of his love. Within minutes I got a text from my friend Keith that said “Father is not ignoring your pain. Keep doing what you are doing.” I immediate called Keith since he was obviously awake. He said he had this strong urge to send me those very words at that time.
This has happened to me in one form or another many times.
