So if we are sure we are right with the Lord and we ask Him for something, wouldn’t it be presumptuous to think He wouldn’t answer, rather than the other way around?

The logic here is backwards. We don’t make sure our hearts are in obedience to God’s will in every other area of our lives and then go to God and give him…[Read more]

@corissa-maiden-of-praise I’m saying God says wait……………………………. then He either says yes of no. And what God answers is always right, even if we don’t see it right there and then. Faith is to trust Him no matter what the answer is or whether we understand it or not.
Does that help you understand my pov?

Ooh, good discussion @Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise. I haven’t done a lot of thinking on this, but the first thing that popped into my head when I read your post was this verse:

The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but deliverance is of the Lord.
Proverbs 21:31

Quite simply, we are instructed to prepare and leave the rest to God. As @Hope is…[Read more]

@corissa-maiden-of-praise

Good question. I’ve actually just been thinking today how little I bring my requests to God when I should. It’s like I forget that God also has the name Father.

That being said, I know God sometimes has his people go through tough times, and sometimes what we want isn’t what God has planned. I don’t see any way we can…[Read more]

*this is a quote* “I heard a story once about two farmers who desperately need rain. And they both prayed to God for it. But only one went out and prepared his fields for it. Which one do you think trust God to send the rain?” (This is from Facing the Giants) 🙂

Is constantly praying for something a lack of faith? God…[Read more]

@corissa-maiden-of-praise Ooo, that is a tough question. Hmmm…

I could argue for both sides, so I guess I’ll start by asking is it a Biblical idea that preparing for an answer to prayer is a sign of faith. Or is it a sign of presumption?

I’ve not studied this but I think assuming the answer is a bit presumptuous. After all, when we’re asking…[Read more]

@ingridrd, @corissa-maiden-of-praise, @christi-eaton, @winter-rose, @emma-flournoy, @gretald. Thank you so much for the feedback! Wow, I can’t believe it affected you guys so much. I didn’t really think it was that great, but I am so glad that you all liked it! 🙂 @corissa-maiden-of-praise, I used the internet for a little bit of information on…[Read more]

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise

Well no one says awesome can’t be a genre!
Sounds interesting; I hope you have fun. 🙂

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise

Haha. 😉
What genre is your WIP?

Ooo, is the Sofigietto by C.P.E. Bach the one you’re talking about? I love that one!!

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise, Oops…I didn’t see that Kate asked the same question. 😉 I love “The Mysterious Benedict Society!” Which book is your favorite? Have you read “The Extraordinary Education of Nicolas Benedict,” as well? And, of course, LOTR is great. 🙂

@Corissa-maiden-of-praise — Wow, what a way to wake up. 🙂 I remember once I dreamed I was climbing a mountain, and I slipped and twisted my ankle, and my ankle actually did twist and woke me up. It’s so funny when that happens. I haven’t heard of Solfiggietto; I’ll have to look it up. What is your friend’s video about? I know it seems silly…[Read more]

@corissa-maiden-of-praise
No way! It’s a small world. 🙂
My jaw pops too!!!!! It drives me insane and sometimes it cracks. (A bit like a gun shot, but that is probably only because I’m not expecting it to happen when it does) Which makes me and anyone near me jump. I have a piece of plastic that my top teeth slip into to release pressure on the…[Read more]

@corissa-maiden-of-praise You welcomed yourself to the bestistest place on earth before anyone else.

I like the dreams when you can taste stuff except when you wake up and find that you’ve been sucking your bed covers. Yuk! Nice taste leaves the mouth very quickly. I actually had a dream recently. It was so funny for me when I woke up. Let’s see…[Read more]
