God is not even looking for people that are qualified. He’s looking for people that are available. All you gotta do is say, "God, here I am use me." #JoyceQuote
Too often, we put these conditions on God and conditions on our prayers. “God, I’ll be happy if my boss moves to the back side of Mars. When you get him out of my life, then I’ll have a good attitude.” Have you ever thought that God is using that person to do a work in you, to develop your character, to teach you to love those who are not very lovable? Instead of saying, “God, get me out of this situation.” Pray, “God, come into this situation. Help me to have a good attitude, help me to do the right thing when the wrong thing is happening.”
The Scripture says, “God watches over His Word to perform it.” It doesn’t say God watches over our complaints, our begging, “Please God, You know this is not fair. You’ve got to turn this around.” Yes, He’s concerned. He sees the wrongs, but what moves God to act is when He hears His Word.
When you ask God to come in, you’re saying, “God, don’t just change the situation, change me. Help me to not just go through this but to grow through it. If God delivered you out of everything instantly, you would never reach your potential.
When it says put God in remembrance of His promises, it’s not because God has forgotten what He said. It’s not for His sake; it’s for our sake. You’ll know that God being for you is more than the world being against you.
