We have a good Father in God, who, just like a good earthly father, desires to give His children whats best for them later even if He has to say no to something they want right now. The question is: Do we really believe that Hes good? If we did, wouldnt that be cause to celebrate, whether He says no or yes? Its hard when prayer requests go unanswered or desires go unmet. I can easily feel deflated and frustrated with God. Hope turns to hopelessness, confident expectation becomes disappointment and faith turns to despondent despair. But what if we really believed God was good? What if we believed that He was always saying yes — maybe not to what we are asking Him for right at that moment — but saying yes to His best. What if we trusted His heart, even when His hand seemingly withholds the very thing we so desire? What if we chose to celebrate all of the previous yes answers Hes given us despite His current no? I think it would change how we respond. I think we would find joy, keep hoping and smile despite what we see. I know how badly you want your yes but hang in there. Keep hoping. Keep praying. Keep believing. And if God says no? Choose to give thanks.”
