  1. So true! I think we all have tried to “nudge” God in the direction we want. But the years prove He knows what He is doing!

  2. I can so relate to this post.
    Thanks for sharing.

  3. I want to give ol’ God a hand
    when I think He’s workin’ slow,
    ’cause maybe He don’t understand
    just how far I need to go,
    that I am made for ridin’ high,
    with many things I gotta do
    so later I can go and buy
    that beach house in Malibu
    (which was burned right to the ground
    by that fire recently).
    But in this way maybe I’ve found
    that God is doing decently
    by slow-timing my desires
    to save me from Newsom and fires.

  4. I know I’ve tried to “limit” God in the past in prayer. Humans try to control things and that’s not the relationship with God.

  5. Oh boy, Paula, though I should know better, I often more than “nudge” God in the direction which of course would be best!!!!

  6. I love this, Paula. So many times I try and ‘help’ the Lord to solve my problems. We really do have to remember that the Lord of the universe can handle it . Thanks for sharing. Kath, your FMF neighbour at #12 this week.

  7. So very true, Paula. The many times in life that I have given the Lord suggestions. But I am so glad He did things His way 🙂

  8. Such a great reminder that God knows us well, and knows the moves we are going to make even before we do. I hang onto that faith often. I try to not interrupt what I’m supposed to do incorrectly. Sometimes I still feel like I fail at that. “But” like you, I am learning day by day to be better at listening to him.

    I’m thankful He is a patient Father who knows how to walk with His children, even when we say ‘but’ to Him.

  10. What a fun prompt! There is always a but isn’t there but often self imposed.

    1. Thanks so much. And yes, sometimes it’s those self imposed buts for sure.
