FAQ #6 When Prayer is Confusing

With the publication of Seven Secrets to Power Praying came invitations to speak at various gatherings. Years ago, long before I had put one word on paper, the Lord had shown me that my future included speaking and writing. So when the invitations started to arrive, it seemed that God's plan was unfolding as expected.

The first couple of engagements fell into place with relative ease. However, the next invitation seemed to hit a snag right from the beginning. I checked my calendar. All but one of the suggested dates did not suit my schedule for various reasons. So I chose the one that fit only to find out that that date was no longer available. Would I pick another? Each of the others had drawbacks so I chose the one with fewer concerns and requested that one. The same thing happened. That date was now booked as well. I made another suggestion and that too was blocked. 

Lord, what is going on here? I wondered. As I sat praying and seeking the Lord's wisdom I remembered a few of my recent dreams. Could they have anything to do with this??
