Last week I was scrolling through my Facebook page when I came across this gem (thank you Patty Pruitt for letting me share it!) …

So, last night I decided to drive through Taco Villa. I love their cheesy

chicken bowl, it’s yummy. I ordered the cheesy chicken bowl, she repeated

it back correctly, I paid, got my food and drove home. When I took the food

out of the bag it was not a bowl! It was a large clamshell container! I opened

it to find a chicken taco salad! Dang it! I called Taco Villa and complained. My

husband is sick! I do not want to come back! I just want you to be aware of your

mistake! I ate the taco salad…….I loved the taco salad. I may have a Taco Villa

taco salad again tonight. From a different location, of course….

I wonder how many times I pray for the cheesy chicken bowl when God wants to give me a chicken taco salad? Instances when what I think is best for me is not what God knows is best for me? Times when my will does not line up with God’s will? When I’m not praying in surrender?

What are you currently praying for? What if that is not God’s best for you? What if you are praying for a cheesy chicken bowl when God knows what you would really love is the chicken taco salad? Where do you need to surrender your will to God’s will?

And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock,

and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who

seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. What father among you,

if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for

an egg will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good

gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit

to those who ask him!  Luke 11:9-13
