You Know It’s The Lord Speaking To You When

When you’re praying, hoping, crying, shrinking, hiding, asking, pleading... And you get what you feel is an answer... But then you question it.

Did this answer comes from god?
Did this answer come from outside me?
Did this answer come from my imagination?

Ask yourself this

Does this answer turn my head back to look at The Lord or what I prayed for?

If the prayer brought you to turn your head to look at The Lord, it probably was Him answering you.

You see your selfish will or things outside you, aren't going to direct you:

• Back to kneeling
• Back to surrendering
• Back to looking up

Your own imagination will guide you back to looking in the mirror or looking the sand beneath your feet, your life around you.

And things outside you will not direct you back to The Lord. They won't give you reason to look back towards the center of the universe.

But if your answer makes you wiser, more patient, more understanding regardless of the answer being what you wanted or not. That’s where God Plays Chess Backwards. He turns your prayers into growth so that you can help others later.
