Thank goodness He is patient with me! Waiting is hard, but God works when we are in our secret place waiting on Him. I’m so thankful for His promises.

One of my favorites – Deuteronomy 31:8 ” The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

I can totally relate to you Lara. I run into trouble when I feel like I am not hearing Him right. If I feel Him speaking to my heart, I can quickly start to doubt what I heard if there is not some sort of confirmation from Him. I know this is when we should step out in faith if it is something He has called us to. But it is difficult to know for sure. I always crave those definite ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers. Unfortunately it doesn’t always work that way. I’m learning that the only thing I can do is continue to seek Him and follow Him with faith.

In reply to Jolene Lantz. It is tough Jolene. I want the formulaic plan too. It seems like that would be best. But I guess that wouldn't require much faith. So...we press on.

In reply to JaQuinn Fox. "Remember." The continual command, and truth. We are so quick to forget. Remembering with you, sister-friend.

After I stop panicking, I remember His promises. I remember that He is always Who He is. Always. When I don’t know what He wants me to do, I remember Who I am in Him and hold onto that truth. Otherwise, I go off in other directions and get sidetracked and convince myself of things that aren’t true.

I smile…just last week I was hoping Jesus would show up in the flesh, ring my doorbell and hand me the perfectly thought out, very detailed formulaic plan I should follow…sigh….I poured through psalms and proverbs, writing page after page of prayer…and then I started seeking counsel. I really…and I mean really wanted someone to say do this, do that, but most of my godly women friends affirmed my staying on the knees and pouring through His word. It’s so tough…God is so mysterious and His living active word speaks different things to each of us…particular, personal things.

Amen. It is so hard, yes. The waiting. But thankful His presence is an answer every morning; He is there, He is listening, just hold on. Always encouraged by your heart, Lara!
