It is
stunning to me just how frequently I will fail to inquire of the Lord. I have been going through a period of trial in
my life, and I am struggling to understand why some things have happened the
way that they have happened. I have
knelt in prayer for long periods of time, telling the Lord how I didn’t
understand and don’t understand. And
yet, somehow and someway, in all of those prayers I never got around to asking
the Lord to help me understand. It
astounded me when I read this chapter and realized that.
Since
then, I have felt an increase in comfort (though not understanding) as I have
poured out my heart to God and then listened for His response. It is amazing what such a simple change can do
and I am disappointed in myself that I failed for so long to pray as I ought
to. I looked to be understood by God,
and not to understand God.
