Ephesians 2:10 says For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
There is a process that we all have to go through in life. You might be praying for a spouse and God hasn’t answered that prayer yet so you think. It’s not that God did not hear you. It’s that God has to prepare us for what is His will for us. Maybe you are wanting to start a business and God is saying I need to prepare you.
God is in the business of “preparation” He is not going to give His children anything that will hurt or destroy our walk with the Lord.
If God gave us what we wanted without preparing us how would we begin to even appreciate it? We wouldn’t that is why He sends us to the refiners fire.
When a mother gives birth to a child that mother prepares the child through each stage of growing up. If the mother didn’t then they child would grow in age but not knowing what to do in life. So instead of getting upset with God or being angry because you haven’t gotten what you wanted remember about the preparation that He does for us.
You may not see it now but after the process you will surely be so thankful and grateful for God taking you through the process.
