A Desperate Soul's Prayer and Jesus Response
**A Desperate Soul’s Prayer and Jesus’ Response** (fiction)
A day to the Lord Jesus is likened to a thousand years
I feel as though I have already waited an eternity for my prayers to be
answered
Why does it take so long for my petitions to be addressed?
My life is in shambles and I need some relief
You said everything is possible with you, Oh God
Well now it’s time to get working on my order
I have a miserable existence and my children don’t obey
My bills are reaching the sky
And my spouse doesn’t care either
It seems as though I am all alone in this situation
Don’t you care, God?
God’s response…
My child,
Do you not know how the Creator of the universe works?
Do you not understand the seriousness of my labors?
I do not send lightning bolts from the sky to make people obey
Instead I send gentle rain showers
You see, my child, when the Creator does his mighty work
He continues to allow his children to make decisions on their own
He simply exerts a little pressure here and there and draws them unto himself
When years and years go by and a child is still disobeying me then it is at this
Time when I turn up the heat in my own heavenly way
I may allow a circumstance to befall you
I may allow a death of a loved one to draw you closer to me
I may even allow certain events to take place to draw you closer to me
But it is very seldom that you will ever see me send a lightning bolt from the
sky
Very seldom indeed
I am a loving God
I am a gentle God
But when centuries go by and my children continue to live in disobedience to
me
I have to turn up the heat a bit
This is what I am about to do right now
I am about to turn up the heat on the entire human race to get their attention
I am calling all sinners to a complete repentance
Come back to me my children
Come back to me before it is too late
I am your loving Creator! I am your Father God!
