The other night I had a Spiritual “a ha” moment which changed my entire perspective.

In frustration and almost anger I cried out, “Father tell me what to pray!” Very fast He answered. “My will.” I realized for the past month I have been forcing what I want on God, never bothering once to let Him in on the outcome. My prayers were one hundred and eighty degrees from where they should be. I prayed, “Father I want your will to be done in this. Not mine.” Peace began to come upon and I knew I was on target. The first real peace I have had since this nightmare began. So over and over I prayed, “Father I want your will to be done in this. Not mine.” Once again, the teacher gets taught from the Master.

While chatting in Facebook with a very Spirit filled high school friend about my situation she advised me “you need to ask God what you should refocus on. You need to take your focus from her and ask God what he wants you to focus on.” Very logical. I never thought of that. She asked if she could have my phone number so she could give me a call later that night.

After our chat session I asked God what I should refocus on. Once again, very fast He said, “Me.” All throughout this ordeal He has been silent, but now that my perspective has changed He is quite the chatterbox. I get it now Father. It is your show. I am so sorry I was pushing my will upon you.

My friend called me and I asked her for wisdom. She said, “You need to drop it Cecil. If you don’t drop it God can’t pick it up. Drop it now. You have to stop controlling the situation. That includes worrying about it.” My jaw went slack. God’s wisdom is so very simple.

I need to start focusing on what God has and wants for me.
