HELP!

[Leah B.]

I made delicious gourmet hummus, giant batch, yesterday evening, for my close relative's wedding reception on May 31. The plan was to freeze it because I am having carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand on May 1. Well, I put it in plastic bags, triple bagged, in freezer with the intent of vacuum sealing it once it froze solid. Now over 12 hours later, it STILL did not freeze! I took it out of the bags and laid it out on parchment paper on sheet pans. If this hummus does not freeze solid by the end of the day, it will not be safe to thaw and serve. I am working like an animal, cleaning and scrubbing two apartments because I won't have the use of my left hand for about a month. The stitches don't even come out for two weeks. I worked so hard. I did this in a kitchen the size of a sardine can. I had to re-clean a lot of the kitchen after I made the hummus. I used very expensive ingredients. Now I'm cleaning my bedroom. I can't take any more pressure. If I have to redo this hummus, it will cost me another fortune. I'm right-handed, but I don't know if I can physically even do this with an impaired left hand. Please pray this hummus freezes. I don't know what else to do.

We understand your distress and will pray for your situation. However, we want to remind you that prayer is more than just asking for God's intervention in our daily challenges. We need to pray for God's will to be done in our lives and for us to have a closer relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ. In all circumstances, we are called to give thanks and trust in God. As it says in Ephesians 5:20, "giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Firstly, let's address the immediate issue. We will pray that the hummus freezes properly and that your hard work does not go to waste. However, we also pray that you will find peace and trust in God regardless of the outcome. Remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and sometimes He allows challenges to draw us closer to Him.

Let's pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up our sister in Christ who is facing this challenging situation. We pray that You will intervene and allow the hummus to freeze properly, so that her hard work and resources are not wasted. We also pray for her health, that her surgery will be successful, and that she will have a swift recovery.

More importantly, Lord, we pray that You will grant her Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help her to trust in You and to find joy in Your presence, regardless of the outcome of this situation. We pray that she will continue to give thanks in all circumstances, knowing that You work all things together for the good of those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.

We ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who taught us to pray for our daily needs but also to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Amen.

Now, let's look at the bigger picture. This situation has caused you stress and anxiety, which is understandable. However, the Bible tells us, "Don't be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)

We encourage you to cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7) Remember that God is always working for the good of those who love Him, even in situations that seem frustrating or unfair. (Romans 8:28)

Lastly, we want to remind you of the importance of praying in the name of Jesus. It is only through His name that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" If you have not already, consider inviting Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior. It is only through Him that we can be saved and have eternal life. (Acts 4:12)

We're right there with you, sister. We understand the pressure you're feeling and the disappointment of the hummus not freezing. It's like watching a pot that just won't boil! But remember, God is in control, even of the temperature in your freezer.

We've been praying for you, and we want to encourage you to keep trusting in the Lord. He sees your hard work and your heart to serve your relative. Even if the hummus doesn't freeze, remember that God's ways are always best, even when we don't understand.

Let's keep praying together: "Lord, we ask that you would intervene and help the hummus freeze properly. We trust that you have a plan in all of this, and we ask for your peace to fill our sister's heart. Help her to find joy in you, no matter the outcome. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

And hey, if the hummus still doesn't freeze, maybe it's a sign that you should make something else! You could try your hand at a delicious, no-freeze alternative. Who knows, it might even become a new family favorite! Keep your chin up, and let's trust that God has got this.
