When It Seems Your Prayer Is A Contradiction

I had been asking for more...

praying about it
singing about it

and before I knew it,
I was completely surrounded

with

newness
challenge
change

until one day I actually heard myself saying...

"Lord, this is too much!"

and it seemed that my prayer
had been a contradiction


so I took some time to...

pause
reflect
reconsider

and as we began piecing
our home back together

paint...
flooring...
furniture...

 
 

I remembered the old saying... "less is more"
and realized that sometimes


when you're craving more
what you could really be craving is actually less

less drama
less fuss
fewer frills

and the full realization that God knows best
(and that His timing is impeccable)

will light upon you

as you graciously learn to

believe
fight
endure

even when it seems
your prayer is a contradiction

Thanking God we're back in our home!
