Hi Pastor John,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight\u2019s meeting was so good.\u00a0 And everything that was said about expectations, and disappointments, etc., was just perfect and tied in perfectly with my prayers lately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last night I was driving home from work, and I was praying and trying to get my thoughts straight about things; in particular my life and not having been married and being alone, missing out on family, having a husband and so on.\u00a0 I just laid it all on the table before Jesus again.\u00a0 Usually, I end up protesting, and I will be frank about it – and I know this is bad, but I usually would pray, “I don’t agree; I don’t like this.\u00a0 I just don’t agree (with what you’ve done with my life),\u201d and I would complain a lot.\u00a0 I didn’t do this with a bad attitude; I said it to be earnest before the Lord about how I felt – he is the only one that can deal with me about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, last night was different, and I don’t remember how I got there, but my prayer was different, and I was earnest about it.\u00a0 I was praying “Jesus, I agree with what you’ve done in my life.\u00a0 Everything you’ve done is right.\u00a0 You’ve always acted perfectly in my life in response to my actions and what I’ve done.\u00a0 I agree with you.\u201d \u00a0Pastor John, it felt so sweet driving along, praying that prayer over and over again.\u00a0 I felt the change in my heart about that, and I still feel it today.\u00a0 And I am so thankful for that.\u00a0 I’m glad I prayed earnestly before about how I felt – how “I disagreed”, but I’m gladder that I now agree with Him.\u00a0 I don’t want to lose this, so I am going to keep telling Jesus I agree with him.<\/span><\/p>\n
