As a teacher, my students often ask if we can plan some event or another, many of which require approval by our pastor. When the idea is theirs, I make them speak to him about it. Before speaking to him, they make out a plan of what it is they want, why the want it, what plans they've made and how and where they intend to accomplish it, a game plan of sorts.
I've been thinking alot about that today. I am asking God to allow my students to meet Tim Tebow and I have no idea how to go about accomplishing this. In my mind, I have to have all the details worked out. I need to have a plan and how to accomplish it when I go to God in prayer, but that's not what the Bible says. Matthew 21:23 simply says "pray" and "believe", nowhere does it say I have to figure out how God can make it all work, I don't need a game plan. That's because God already has one in place...sometimes He chooses to reveal the plan to me...then it's easy to pray. However, sometimes He doesn't and it is really hard to just 'pray' and 'believe'...this is where I am finding myself, having to trust that God knows all the details of how this prayer is going to be answered and just concerning my self with the part of the plan He has revealed to me...'pray' and 'believe'
