I’m reading Beth Moore’s Believing God and this was one of the things she said in the chapter I am reading today.
It just really hit home and reminded me that, no’s from God are okay. I may not understand it, but as long as I am trusting Him to bring into and take out of my life what he wants, then the Nos I pray for Him to say (and the yes’) are okay. I just thought this was a good reminder.
I am believing for many a miracles in my life, but sometimes to get to those Miracles God has to say no. Also, sometimes what I am believing for isn’t big enough. My God is a BIG God, so sometimes he may say no, because what I want isn’t near as good as what He has planned.
So, dare to believe and trust that God always has the best planned for you!!!

This might be a good gift for my dear friend. She’s having a very difficult time and I’d love to be able to give her something that helps her work through it.
Yes! I believe that when we don’t get an opportunity we wanted, it’s because God has something even greater for you!
Every time something happens that I don’t want to, I try and tell myself that God has another plan.
I really love books like this. I read a lot of Joyce Meyer books! I am gonna have to add this to my reading list!! Thanks for sharing!
The book your reading sounds wonderful for both my mom and mother in law!
It’s definitely hard when you hear No’s from God when all you want is yes’s.
Amen, God sees far more than we do and He wants only the best for us. His way is perfect- we just don’t always know what He has planned so we don’t alway want to follow what He has planned. It’s when we deviate that things get dicey.
This is good to be reminded! thanks for the post!
Very true. The older I get and the more I grow in my faith, I also realize that what I ask for changes and becomes less selfish and more aligned with the will of God rather than what I want (or think I want).
I haven’t read this book before. It sounds really good. I’ll have to check it out.
Great post! I love Beth Moore’s books.
