The Lesson Corazón Taught Me About Prayer.

​This morning, God used something very simple… to teach me something very deep.

I have a little kitten, about three to four months old. His name is Corazón—heart in English. I had originally given him away, but he was returned to me because he cries… a lot. And not just any cry—the kind that can give you a headache.

But this morning, that cry became a lesson.

I was in the kitchen, cooking, and at the same time I was praying.

But if I’m honest… my prayer didn’t feel right.

It felt rushed.

Like I was trying to “get it done” instead of truly being present with God.

And in that moment, Corazón started crying.

Crying and crying for food.

I told him, “Corazón, wait. I’m cooking. I’m almost done.”

But he didn’t stop. He kept crying, louder and more desperate.

And suddenly… it hit me.

That’s how I’ve been praying.

Sometimes I come to God with that same urgency.

That same frustration.

Asking… asking… asking…

Wanting everything now.

Wanting answers immediately.

Wanting things done in my timing.

But just like I was in the kitchen, preparing something for Corazón…

God is preparing things for me.

And while I’m “cooking” for him, I know what I’m doing.

I know the timing.

I know when it will be ready.

Corazón doesn’t understand that.

He just feels the hunger.

And in that moment, I realized…

Sometimes I don’t understand God’s timing either.

I just feel the need, the urgency, the waiting.

So I paused and said:

“Lord, I’m sorry.

Because sometimes I come to You like that…

crying, rushing, demanding,

instead of trusting.”

This morning, through a little kitten, God reminded me:

👉 He is not late

👉 He is not ignoring me

👉 He is preparing something

And just like I told Corazón,

“Wait, I’m almost done…”

I felt in my spirit that God was telling me the same.

So today, I choose to trust.

Even when I don’t understand the timing.

Even when I feel the urgency.

Even when my heart feels like crying out.

Because God knows what He’s doing.

And everything…

will be ready

at the right time.
