In the morning, Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly. Psalm 5:3 NIV Bible
Most mornings, I do about five minutes of stretches for my head, neck, and spine. As I do these, when I have aches or pains, I rub my hand over it and ask the Lord God to heal it. By the time I finish these stretches, I have probably asked the Lord to heal about 30 or so aches and pains that come during the period of those stretches. The Lord always heals those pains, just like He took away my urges to eat large amounts of foods and heaps of sweets!
In that the Lord heals my pains, that doesn't mean that they don't ache or cause pain at a later time, just the same way that cravings for something I shouldn't be eating pop into my mind periodically! But those craving go away when I focus on the Lord God, and pray for Him to heal these from me again.
But this morning, it was on my heart that I revert back to the Gimme Gimmes from the Lord, heals my aches and pains, and heal my desires to compulsively overeat, but am I doing what the Lord God wants? He is answering my request, but am I responding to His requests to share my faith, and to be a good example of how Jesus Christ works in my Life? If I'm being truthful, I lay out a whole bunch of requests for things for the Lord God to do for me, and I tend to turn a blind eye at the things I'm reluctant to do for Him, Jesus Christ, Who gave His life on a cross to save me from my sins. It saddens me to think I've done this to the One, Who loves me soooo much! I need to be more open to doing what the Lord God requests!
