Been super busy the last week or so... 3 finals last week, new son born yesterday...
Somehow in all of it, I always remembered to pray to God for deliverance through whatever trial I had facing me... I prayed before exams, hoping I would know what my professors were asking; I prayed before the C-section yesterday, hoping that God would give wisdom to the doctors, and grant my wife and new child safety out of the surgery.
But somehow I always seem to forget to thank God when he grants me the deliverance I so desperately ask for. I really want to get to the point where I go to God for more than my wants, but also for my thanks, my contentment, and my fulfillment.
I've been reading a little J.I. Packer, and he has had some good things to say that have very pertinent to me. I didn't bring the book to the hospital, but I'll try to dig them up to share.
