I said a prayer to God yesterday inquiring about revelation concerning him/she/it. My prayer was answered in a way I had not expected. But, it seems like that's how God works. He likes to pleasantly surprise us. My relationship with God is the most important relationship in my life and I am very close to her/him. You might even say that me and God have a few inside jokes. I will talk more about the answer to my prayer here in a moment. I live in Norman, Oklahoma where the weather is quite biblical. Yesterday was warm. Today it is cool and rainy. I made a new friend yesterday. We will call him 'Al'. I mention him because I believe I was meant to meet him. At various times in my life, I have bumped into just the right people, at just the right time; and the reason I bring him up is because I believe he was an answer to my earlier prayer.
He is a great conversationalist and a great person. Both qualities can be difficult to find in people, so when I meet such people I try to keep them in my contacts. I ended up staying the night at his house and left this morning to trek to the library where I am typing this. How was he an answer to my prayer? Well, because I believe God put me in contact with him so I would not be lonely last night (I didn't even realize I needed the companionship until I had it), and I was without worry about other things that had been on my mind. All in all, I believe that it was God saying "Brian, I am here with you always, and I will always take care of you. I will never forsake you or forget you. I hear all your prayers. You are never alone. When you need it, I will provide it for you. Don't worry because if you take the steps I will guide you and bring you to your destination".
I truly believe that if we "let go and let God" and trust in him, we have nothing to worry about... Ever. That's a hard concept to get people to understand. We live in perilous times and society seems to condition us to exist in a perpetual state of anxiety and worry. But fear, is just fear for fear's sake. I believe that we all have a place in the divine plan, and that if we follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit within us, we will never be without what we need. But in order to get those things we have to ask and trust God to give them to us, but if we don't get them-then I guess we really didn't need them after all. Be blessed!
