After discussing a disappointing situation with a friend yesterday, the friend told me she was going to pray for a miracle in said situation.
My thoughts as I mulled over the conversation later went something like this:
"I appreciate her faith, but I'm not going to waste my faith on that. I'm saving up for a miracle for Paige."
Fortunately, the Holy Spirit stepped in at that point and reminded me that He isn't limited to one miracle at a time. He doesn't wear Himself out working on one situation and find Himself too taxed to take care of one more.
And, no, faith isn't a currency I can hoard until I have enough to purchase a miracle from my own private Max the Miracle Man.
Enough of trying to screw my faith to the sticking place. I don't get it, so I'm just going to plain believe God can do what He wants and that He wants what is good. That takes enough effort as it is. Maybe that's all He's looking for, anyway?

Amen for the Holy Spirit not being limited, nor of Faith being a "currency" :-)
Thanks Bria! I needed that.
Wow- excellent. It's funny how we sort of have this genie mentality with God - we don't want to use all our wishes up too fast, so let's save up for the biggies. Thanks for reminding me that we serve a BIG God. And He might not be "safe" - Aslan's not a tame lion- but He IS good.
