There have been times in my walk with the Lord when I felt like I was the only one praying about a situation. There have been times like the last several months when I felt like I was the only one struggling in a situation.
That is a lie. We are never alone. He is always with us and on top of that ~ as if He weren't enough ~ He gives us brothers and sisters in Christ.
Over the last few weeks I have felt like I was the only one praying for a situation. This has prompted me to behave in a very un-Christ-like manner. I shared how I felt about the situation and the things I had felt that the Lord had shared with me about it with someone else. I have also fussed at the Lord plenty about it too.
As I was getting ready for bed tonight, the Lord reminded me of a story in the Bible when one of the prophets ( I can never remember if it is Elijah or Elisha... but I think it was Elisha) was complaining that he was the only one left in the world who was standing for the Lord. Then the Lord showed him that there were 700 others just like himself.
So just because I don't know that others are praying for this situation, does not mean that they aren't. All I do by talking about the problem is make it bigger than it already is ... and it is completely not behaving like Christ and it is gossip.
Sooooo... in other words... I am off to do some repenting...
Sorry God for not trusting You!
