In Others’ Words: Guest Post by Debut Author Jill Kemerer (and Giveaway)
“God had sent her what she’d been too afraid to ask for.” ~ Small-Town Bachelor by Jill Kemerer
Do you ever get excited about something only to chastise yourself that it’s impossible? It seems so far out of your reach, you won’t even consider it.We think we don’t deserve wonderful surprises, so we tuck the dream away. We don’t pray about it. Instead, we ask God for smaller things.
Unfortunately, I do this all too often.Silly, huh? I read the Bible every day and pray. The Bible is full of miracles. It’s also full of God’s love. So why do we assume God doesn’t want to give us something utterly amazing? Why are we so willing to give up on big dreams without even asking for them?
In my book, Small-Town Bachelor, Claire has convinced herself she’ll be content with her life if she gets hired at the zoo. There is nothing wrong with going after a dream job.The problem? She really wants a man who loves her and puts her first, but she doesn’t believe he exists. She doesn’t pray about this dream. She tucks it away. It’s just too big.
Here’s the thing. God wants us to pray for what we want. He loves listening to our prayers, wants to hear all about our biggest dreams. When you take the leap and pray for something impossible, you start to see it through God’s lens. The more you pray about it, the more possible it becomes.
Like any good parent, God surprises us. Sometimes He answers the prayers we’re too afraid to ask. Because He loves us. We have a good God.
