I have always thought, randomly ad totally not backed up by anything, that if you had enough faith all you had to do was; pray once, wait patiently, and God will answer in his own time. Today I learned, from the helpful ladies at Proverbs 31 ministries and Luke 18: 1 that Jesus to bug God!! That's right he told a parable about a women with such great faith that she bugged an unrighteous judge until he gave in, and God who is so much more awesome will answer your prayers so much more quickly then that mean old judge!!
This gives me more relief then you can imagine! Sometimes I pray for the same thing every day as a way to ask God but to also help me remember that it will be ok, and I thought I was terrible for not having enough faith to trust Him the first time I prayed! In steps Jesus to save the day and tell me that God wants me to 'bug' him!!!
I hope this helps anyone else who may have gotten their wires crossed somewhere!! I love you all!!!
Thanks for sharing these thoughts Andrea, I too often forget that God wants us to bug him. I frequently ask once and then chug on. It's great to be reminded that God doesn't mind us falling at his feet over & over again.
