Have you ever had God answer a prayer, but somehow you felt taken by surprise that He answered?
I've allowed myself to become accustomed to either feeling my prayers were not answered or feeling they were answered, but in a way that I do not understand, yet know I must be thankful, for His plan is always better than mine.
I've been praying for something specific recently, and God has answered in a way that seems to line up with how my human mind wants things to go. And I'm surprised by this, and delighted, and tickled that He'd allow this. And also, scratching my head a bit, surprised by His answer.
We should never allow ourselves to doubt that God will answer our prayers. We should pray with the understanding that He always listens and always answers. And we should be patient and understanding and open to accept His will, His answer as what is best in His plan. I think my prayers should sound more like this, "Lord, you know my heart in this matter. Now please, give me Your heart, so that our two hearts might be aligned in this matter." I think if my prayers sounded more like that, then I would begin to see that all my prayers were answered.
