I believe that God wants us to seek him, and in doing so he will reveal things to us (so understand) but we then have to give that understanding back to his possession, because we really only understand a little or a part. For instence, God told me Matt was to be my husband.... I thought I understood this (I still believe that I do) His word to me was not wrong, and my understandning was not wrong, my mistake was then trying to control it, trying to see when and how it was to be, and then my human expectations, let me down over and over again. My understanding of the situation is like me looking through a straw :) Even though he has spoken to me, even though I have seen, I still have to let him do it his way and in his timing. It doesn't mean to forget what he has told me, but to just let God. This is VERY difficult for me. But I am trying :) And about the persistance, YOU cannot wear God down, like our kids wear us down. He sees the persistance as a good thing (as long as it is a promise from God and not just a selfish desire). And yes I understand just being tired.... I am that way too. That is when I stop focusing on the vision, and JUST focus on the peace that only God can give.... and then I am persistant in that :) Because I will get it, it is a promise, I will cry and worship and yell at him until I get the peace. Then I can go back to the vision that I am contending for. No it is not easy. And it is OK, to step back and say God I can't do it right now :) HE NEVER CONDEMS US!!!! His desire is to love, and encourage and be in relationship with us. I am sorry if I confused you :) You are NOT a simpleton :) I love you very much.
