“WHAT IF HE ASKS FOR IT?”

As Inspired by THE LIVING WORD
When you finally get what you’ve been praying for; the job, the spouse, the platform, the dream, what if one day, God whispers, “Give it back to Me”?
Shade had waited years to conceive. After five miscarriages and a womb that had been medically written off, her son came; chubby, full of life, and perfectly healthy. She named him Ifesinachi: “Love came from God.”
He became her world. But months into his second birthday, she began to feel that nudge in prayer, Lay him on the altar. Surrender him.
She struggled. Fought back. Who wouldn’t? But eventually, she whispered in tears, “God, if you gave him to me, you can have him. I trust You.”
And it wasn’t death God was calling for. It was devotion. God wanted her to hand over control, not the child. That act of surrender birthed a ministry that would bless thousands of mothers, all because Shade let go.
Just like Hannah, the woman who cried bitterly for a son and kept her vow when God gave her Samuel. She let go. And God gave her back more than she ever asked for.
What if what you’re gripping so tightly is exactly what’s delaying the abundance?
God’s not out to take what you love. He’s out to make sure what you love doesn’t take His place in your heart.
Can you let go… if He asks?
Try it. It’s always a good deal with God.
Scripture Reference:
_“Those who sow in tears shall reap with songs of joy.” – Psalm 126:5_
PRAYER BULLET
