Ezekiel 7-9, Hebrews 5, Psalms 105:1-15, Proverbs 26:28
What God said to me – In the movie Aladdin, Aladdin finds a “magic” lamp and when it is rubbed in a certain way a genie appears to grant him his wish. So many of My children treat Me like that – like a genie here to grant your wishes. “I AM” not a genie and your prayers shouldn’t be wishes. “I AM” Almighty God, your everlasting Father. I want a relationship with you, and I want you to come to Me in prayer pouring out your heart – telling Me your yearnings and longings and hurts and disappointments. Don’t think that because your prayers are not answered the way you wanted that I didn’t hear you or answer your prayer. You must realize that even though your prayer is sincere, it may not be according to My will – the way I answer, in the time I answer is always the perfect answer. My Son, Jesus, offered up prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to Me because He knew I was able to save Him from death and His prayers were heard by Me. Note that I didn’t answer His prayer the way He wanted, but in the way that was best. He was a faithful Son who changed His wants to align with My will – He said, “not My will, but Yours be done”, and because of it He became the source of eternal salvation to those who believed and obeyed. Trust that My answer and My timing are perfect because “I AM” perfect and I always hear you.

This was a great message for me Lori! There are times I wonder why the Son of God had to endure such pain and suffering and be put to death for our salvation!
Mortals can’t understand God the Fathers reasoning behind this sacrifice, so we have to persevere and accept that He is in control and it’s the way it had to be!
