What is wrong with humans?

Have you ever been surprised when God is faithful and answers your prayers, even though He's done it a thousand times before? Maybe I'm the only one.

I KNOW God never leaves me, and hears my every prayer. I know He answers my prayers. But somehow I'm surprised when He does anyway.

When He answers my prayers, it sometimes take me a little while to process that He did. Lately, I've had a LOT of things to cry out to God for. Trust, school, sickness, fear, sleep, etc. etc.

One big thing is that I have been feeling like a failure, and believing that no one like me. In Gods way, He has slowly shown me over the past couple days that I'm completely wrong. On Wednesday I was talking to a friend who was having a bad day. I was just trying to encourage her, but she ended up encouraging me more than she realizes. Yesterday, several people took the time to talk to me and see how I was doing. People that I wouldn't have expected. I got a hug from someone. A lot of people don't realize how much a simple hug can help. I got a text message from a friend I haven't talked to in a while. We had a nice long conversation. Today, I got a phone call from someone I didn't know. This lady got my number from the parent of someone I babysit. She's looking for a babysitter for her 1-year old daughter.

Does all this sound like things that would happen to someone who was hated by everyone, and who failed at everything? I don't think so. If I was such a failure at babysitting, people wouldn't be recommending me. If people didn't like me, they wouldn't be talking to me.

I still have a lot of prayers that haven't been answered yet, but I know that God is working things out in His own perfect timing. He has a perfect plan and a perfect order.

My title for this post probably doesn't make sense. Normally I do a lot of thinking on what the prefect title should be, but I don't have much time right now. The title is talking about how we forget that God is faithful. My post is only sort of talking about that. Oh well :)

I hope this can somehow encourage someone. God really does care, and He listens when we pray to Him. Just try it out. See what happens.
