My feet stop. I don’t know which way to go. I could worry or analyze. I could. I can. I have. But not much changes when I do that. So it seems there’s only one real option. I need to talk to Him.
This God who sees the beginning from the end.
The One orchestrating, sustaining, and loving.
I need Him to guide me.
I tell Him my fears, my desires, my hopes, and my needs. He already knows, but getting them out in the air seems to affect me. As if I can hear Him more clearly after I’ve laid me down.
Then I wait. But it isn’t a passive waiting. It’s active. I wait in belief. I obey the last thing He told me to do while trusting that He will faithfully guide, in His perfect time, just as He has in the past.
I dig into His Word expectantly. Then I ask Him to keep my feet from rushing ahead because I don’t want to manipulate the outcome.
He knows the answer. I’m His daughter. He will guide.
Fill me, Lord…
How has He proven His faithful guiding to you?

The perfect word for me today. Just “talked to Him” and laid out all my fears, anxieties, hopes,…now I do wait expectantly that He will provide peace & guidance. Thank you for stating exactly what I was feeling this morning.

Praying/believing He will faithfully guide, Heather. 🙂
Heather MacFadyen says
He is soooo faithful! I poured out my heart Friday morning. I spent time in prayer on Saturday morning (during my allotted Sabbath) & He provided. Through the words of a stranger He gave me the encouragement and the peace my soul was longing for. Thank you Lord for being the God who sees…

Thank you Lara. Feeling torn on discerning my burdens from those burdens of Christ. My heartstrings are tugged to feed the hungry…in a big way. Big for my family. Thank you.

The Lord is the only one who can direct us even when we at times rear off the beaten path He is there to guide us back on that right narrow path..thank GOD
