You’ve likely heard that God’s answers are:
Yes!
NO.
Wait.
I’ve been spending quite a bit of time studying and learning (and unlearning quite a bit, too) about the full, abundant and healed and whole life that Jesus died for us to have.
What I’ve gathered and am learning to apply is that God’s answers–all which are covered in love–are more like:
Yes! I will do that for you…in time.
“But Abraham never doubted. He believed God,
for his faith and trust grew ever stronger,
and he praised God for this blessing even before it happened.”
Rom 4: 20 TLB
NOW I am going to do it!
“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now,
and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow.
God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.”
Matt 6:34 MSG
Let me heal the part of your soul that needs my TLC.
“…he restores my inner person. He guides me in right paths
for the sake of his own name.”
Psalm 23:2 CJB
