When your prayer talks back...

They say that God's answer to our prayers is mostly a yes, no, or wait.

I think, that sometimes, the answer to one's prayer is a question: do you think your God is enough?

Specifically....

Is God's grace sufficient for the trial(s) faced?
Will God provide enough?
Is God adequately qualified to do something about your situation?
Is God's arm long enough to save?
Should God be your only hope... or would you need a back-up plan?
Are His promises enough... when all you experience is loss, grief, and disappointment?

That, I suppose, was the answer to my prayer tonight... A question that is humbling because it can be hard to feel a "yes" with conviction even while your head knows the truth or at least what the Bible says. However, it is a question that also reminisces God's consistent faithfulness and comforts at once. A divine question, certainly.

Do you think your God - the God of Abraham, the God of Jesus Christ - is enough?
