We pray for what we WANT,
but God we ask You to give us what we NEED!

About Me
- Felisol
- Psalm 139 contains my belief and comfort. 1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. 5 You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

How true it is, we often pray for what we want. No wonder our prayers don't often get answered, but God does know what we need.
And the prophet Isaiah says that in His wisdom, God answers even before we ask!
The photo you posted is so strikingly beautiful.
oh felisol...how great is this?
i just came by to see you and would you believe it?
i am going to post "connie's testimony" on my blog today!
i didn't know you were going to post "constance's prayer"!
you have been encouraging people with her prayer ever since you first heard it!
i think i had better label my post, "constance's testimony" and i am going to "borrow" a sweet flower from over the philippines from a crown of beauty who lives there!
god bless you felisol and crown of beauty...love terry
ps 1..connie gave me the permission to copy her testimony and i am so glad!
ps 2 and crown of beauty gave me the permission to use her doggies samantha[sammy] and patches so i mean why would she mind me picking a flower for connie,eh?
That just about says it all for me, Elise. Each night I ask for a specific request. You can guess what it is. And then I acknowledge that His will is in charge and whatever He sends, that will be the right thing for that moment.
true Felisol. And I say Amen to that.
God know what is best for us. Like our earthly father He will not give us a stone when we ask for bread..
THe photo is lovely
Perfect! The photo and prayer are simply beautiful. Thank you, Felisol!
Thank you sweet sister! I wish I could say that I pray for what I NEED from God MORE than what I WANT from God! Sigh...still an ongoing work in progress. I won't arrive until I am taking my dirt nap!
Connie
Amen ...
Lovely delicate flower photo ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
