God's Way   
  
"But Naaman went away angry and said, I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy." 2 Kings 5:11 (NIV)
 
Naaman was a great military commander, but he was plagued with leprosy. Naaman went to Elisha looking to be healed, but taking with him preconceived ideas of how the prophet would heal him. And dipping himself seven times in the dirty Jordan River was not one of those ideas. Naaman gets angry and storms off, but his servant challenges him to listen to the prophet and do the simple things he was asked. Naaman decides to do what he was told, and to his delight he is made whole, just like the man of God told him he would be.
 
When we seek the Lord's help we would be wise to get rid of all our preconceived notions of how God is going to help us! Too often we miss out on what God is trying to do for us, because it's not done in a way we think it should be. Let God answer you prayers His way! Take the answer to your prayer regardless of how it comes packaged! Allow God to be free to bless you in any way He sees fit! Andrew Murray, a missionary and minister from the 19th and early 20th century, said, "Beware in your prayers, above everything else, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do." When making your request known to God, don't make known how you think He should answer your request! Let God be God! Receive God's answer to your prayer however it may come packaged!
 
"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts, says the Lord. And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9 (NLT)
