Have you ever asked God for something new to do only to find that it was hidden inside your dwelling place? How, I believe, God answered my prayer was to show me the obscure (hidden thing). Recently, after making that prayer request something happened. The thing is that I really have been losing a lot, in terms of requests, orders and ideas. I believe this en masse loss came about to create a vacuum on the inside that at first seemed like worry and doubt over what I would be doing next.
How Prayer & Faith Work Together
Here is the faith portion. I have had a desire for years to immerse myself in a certain mouse friends project, but had neither the time nor materials on hand (motivation was quite low as well). I designed a satisfactory crochet pattern since the onset of that desire. Over the years I had desperately searched to find the yarn brand with the right colors and size. I called it my orphan mouse project. Sadly, I had given up without immediate results in order to bury the feelings of frustration.
Here is the prayer portion. After asking God for help with something new I came to find one day that the colors were all gathered among my very small stash that had shrunk over the years (most were from Joann Fabrics by Bernat cotton blends). My blindness was removed. To some it may seem too minor a thing for God to answer in this way. But to me it was the orchestration and timing of how I came to see what had been prepared and waiting for such a time. To me, my life does not revolve around my craft but my relationship is with God It is what He wanted me to see that I now see how He cares about my losses and my desires..I hope that my losses mean death to something passed and life to something desired and new.
