Jeremiah 33:3 states: Call to me and I will answer you, and I show you great and might things, which you do not know.
Have you ever gone through a difficult situation and ask God, "God, why didn't you want me this was coming?" I know I have. Yet in his word he says, call to me and I will show you. Do you believe that to be true. I sure do.
Our prayer lives are sometimes packed with so many things, that we spend most of it telling God what we need, as if he wasn't God and he didn't know. Recently I have been in utterly amazed by a song called "You don't miss a thing." If you have time you should stop and listen to the lyric. There is a verse in the song that says, "In a crowd of 10,000 you don't miss a thing." Well thats our God. He never misses a thing. He always knows what we need, before we need it and He is very much aware of how our heart feels as we are waiting in expectation.
If we could simply allow that to sink in for a minute, the next concept will be so much easier to grasp. Since God already knows all your needs, and knows how your heart feels, it only reasons to think that he doesn't need you telling him for an hour all the things you have need of. Believe me I am not advocating for prayers that never bring our request to God because God actually tells us to bring out request to Him, however I am saying that your focus can't be limited to only what you need from God, it has to also want to hear from God. Receive from God what he has for you for any given season in your life.
Here is where Jeremiah 33:3 comes in. He actually wants to use your prayer time to reveal to you things that are coming ahead. To set upon your heart the needs of other people and to share with you intimacy that he desires to have between you and him. God wants to show you things that are headed your way, so that before they even hit your door step you can be ready with the armor of the Holy Spirit to protect you. He wants to touch your heart to meet the needs of your neighbor who may be struggling financially or physically. He wants to show you the places he wants to take to in order to gain greater intimacy with you. He wants to prepare your heart for a deeper relationship with Him. God wants to take care of you. Isn't that amazing!!!
Before any of that is possible, you have to believe that He doesn't miss a thing. He knows you. He knows your needs, and He wants to meet all your needs. He needs you to trust that He is enough for you. The God in heaven wants to show you things that are unknown to you, don't limit His ability. Spend some of your prayer time waiting on God to reveal Himself to you, you might be surprised at what you hear. He always sends His warning signs!
