Irmela Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 Day 12 Meditation (Psalm 131). Why does demanding answers from God lead to stress? How have unexplained events in your life made you angry? How do you actually go about calming and quieting your soul? What does it mean to "hope in the Lord"? Demanding something is stressful in itself. Demanding from God should really not happen. Demanding is different to pleading and asking. Demanding something is like what a brat would do. After a demand generally comes a temper-tantrum and then silent-tantrum. For certain no please or 'if at all possible'. Not too sure if angry is the right thing that happened. Sooner confused and uncertain. After that determined to make the best of the situation, to prove that I can cope in it. And hope against hope that things will change. Until it was evident that it wouldn't. Then I gave in to tears and despair. Talking the situation over with the Lord sure brought peace and quietness to my heart then and still does today. To 'hope in the Lord" means trusting Him to take control of and change a hopeless situation into a more positive one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
