Cruising at 30,000 Feet

Cruising at 30,000 Feet

Do you every feel that you are praying and screaming out to God for answers and they just do not come? I have sure been there more than once.

My thoughts today take me back to a business trip I was on. I was flying from Cincinnati to Kansas. This was a trip that I took often. As I boarded the plane I felt hopeless.

My window seat was midway back on the right. I took my journal out of my bag along with my pen and sat down to talk to God. I started by saying “God, I feel like my prayers are going no where so as I gaze out of this window I’m 30,000 feet closer to you, PLEASE hear my prayer. Please help me in this situation”.

No doubt this sounds silly to some because we know that God in Omnipresent. He hears our prayers when we are in the deepest darkest hole or when we are 30,000 feet in the sky.

As as PK (Preachers Kid) I was taught to pray more and fast more and everything will be OK. But, I’ve come to realize that what I think will be the OK for a situation may not be what happens in the end.

I now look back at that time in my life and I know that God gave me direction but I did not listen. How many times in our lives do we head down a path that is not in God’s plan for us. Then the crisis of our bad decisions hits us straight in the gut. We cry, we wreath in pain of the places we find ourselves only to cry out to God once again.

I am a living testimony that God is faithful in our failures. If we cry out to him he will answer. He will right the wrongs in our lives. God will restore that which is broken.

Change did not come the way that I thought it would. Change did not come when I thought it should. But as I now look back at those hopeless times I can say that God restored greater than I ever thought possible.

Thank you Father for loving me in my failures and through my faults.

Thank you Father for your continual work in my life.

In you I can become the person that you created me to be and I can fulfill the purpose that you created just for me in this life.

Be Blessed,

KSR
