Job5:8 “If I were you, I would go to God and present my case to him."
Sometime ago, I needed a certain amount of money to pay someone who rendered a service to me. It is not my habit to buy or get things done for me on credit.
However, I needed to get that thing done at that point in time so I promised to pay before the end of the following month. Sincerely, I did not have an expectation on where the money would come from. I was troubled in my heart.
I told my wife about it but I failed to tell God. That was where I got it wrong and this is a common trait to most believers. We have pressing needs and issues bothering us, we tell everyone but we fail to tell the man that can give solution.
On a fateful day, the Spirit of God reminded me that I have not asked God to supply my need for that money I needed to pay the person who did a job for me. Reluctantly, I asked God to supply my need. The prayer wasn't as serious as it should but I asked anyway.
A day or two after, a sister sent a message asking that I send my personal account number. I hesitated a bit because that was her first time of asking. I almost told her not to bother because she was nursing a baby.
Reluctantly, I sent my account details to her. Lo and behold! She sent the exact amount I needed to pay the man I was owing. Hallelujah!!! My mind went back to the time I prayed about it.
Sometimes, we trivialize the effect of simple prayers and overlook issues instead of telling God about it. No matter how small it seems, God is interested in that matter.
If I were you, I will tell it to God the way it is and leave it there in his presence. God is just a call away. He is interested in minute details about our lives.
You must cultivate the habit of talking to God first before talking to men. Learn to present every case to him, He is ready to answer.
Father, intervene in this matter(...mention the exact issue) and glorify yourself In Jesus name.
