My experience in a church nursery gives a good visual. A nervous toddler threw her arms around her mom’s neck and hung on to the one she knew loved her most.
I grew up praying specifically so I could see God answer in specific ways. But perhaps my so-called specific prayers are my way of telling God what to do.
God’s plans far outweigh our whims. Let’s choose to trust that in His wisdom and love, He will answer in ways that are always best in the long run.
Rather than walking in complete surrender to Jesus Christ, we often withhold things we hold near and dear. We’re afraid God will demand too much, and its cost.

Have you ever wrestled with God’s ways not making sense? Honestly, sometimes I shake my head at how He boggles human logic.
