you may have some passion, but don't think that praying louder
will make your prayer any louder to God than a silent one.
it is about the heart, is it not? as passionate as you may be in those
moments when you raise your voice, do not deceive yourself.
yes, prayer is a dialogue- but it is not one in which we, as children,
whine and annoy our Father with noise until He gives into our whims.
rather it is one in which we ask and receive according to His will.
passion is good, but in my opinion, trust is better. one is required.
am i doubting that you are putting your trust in God? not at all-
let this be a reminder to you not to let your emotions drive your
faith. i don't want you to end up disappointed if God doesn't answer
your prayers right away. instead, i want you to have the same mindset
as you ought to have in both dry seasons and times of passion- that
God is good and everything He provides for us has been appointed
according to His perfect plan. so, if you insist on praying loudly,
let me insist that you also pray faithfully and consistently.
i am so thankful for what God is doing in your life and i am excited
to see how He will grow you in the next year. you are loved.
