Praying Prayers You've Already Answered

The other night I had a rather emotional conversation with God, which ended with me saying, “God, unless you send someone who completely understands where I am right now, I am not going to be able to make it.”

I awoke the next morning to find these verses stuck to my mirror:

“Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” –Heb. 4:14-16

How quickly I forget what I already have in Christ…

How thankful I am that God listens, despite my forgetful heart.

    @Rachel...I'm glad it was encouraging! God has been encouraging me in very creative ways lately...or maybe I'm just becoming more aware of his encouragement. Either way...I'm glad it's encouraging you as well!!
