Lesson behind a blocked ear

Ahh, nothing feels more tortured than to be partially deaf. I am grateful that the Lord blessed me with a healthy body.
I'm currently on a 1 week break and I thought that I wanted to relax but suddenly my ear just had to torture me.. At first, I did what I did best, always trying to solve the problem on my own.
So, my ear only got worse. It started to hurt alot, until I couldn't stand it anymore. So I called my mom and she told me I better go and get it checked by a doctor.
It was then, I prayed. Yup, prayer always seemed the last thing to do only after everything I TRY to do on my own fails.
Here, I realised that I have yet a lot to learn. I always thought I would trust Him to care for me, but instead I always take matters into my own hands and in the end, I am the one getting hurt, then I blame Him for allowing me to get hurt. But in actual fact, it was I who didn't wait for His signal and went my own way.
I don't know about others but I do think that sometimes we tend to make our own decisions.
It was until I fall then I remember that we (humans) can make all the decisions we want but He is the One that approves of everything.
I seem to be repeating the same mistakes over and over again. For me personally it is difficult sometimes to wait on the Lord because there are desperate times that you need immediate answer. But this thought is wrong, because we should know that the Lord will ALWAYS answer our prayer, it's just that His timing is different from ours and what we want is different than what HE wants for us.
In the end, I prayed because I didn't want to hurt my ear anymore and went to the clinic. Now my ear is fully healed.. ^-^
Thank God....
I believe that obedience is very very important, if we are faithful in the Lord, that faith will not be in vain.. It's just the Lord's timing is unpredictable, it comes when you least expect it.. For example, for my ear medication, I was given the medication for free!! I went to the governmental clinic and the fee was supposed to be RM1, but on that day no one charged me at all.. :) I have every reason to praise the Lord God Most High..
