Self Sabotage...

When we ask God to move in an area of our lives, we don't get to dictate to Him how to move.  We might ask Him to open or close a door, to bring or remove someone from our lives, or better yet to help us be more like Him.  However, once His process begins, per our request, we at times act out.  Don't sabotage what you've prayed for because you can't appreciate the process.  

“For God is not a God of disorder but of peace....”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ 14:33 NIV

When the Lord does a thing, we may not understand why He does it the way He does, but I believe that He's always days, months, and even years ahead of us.  

“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.... so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:9,11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

When Abraham questioned God in Genesis 15 about who would be heir to all the blessings that God would bestow on him, there was no need for him nor Sarah his wife to intervene nor act out.  Once the words were spoken from Abraham's mouth, God already set a plan in motion.  But like them, we can sometimes get in the way.  God does not need our help to be God!

Don't sabotage what you've prayed for.  Trust God!  Trust His process.
