It’s tough to pray through a messy, hard, complicated situation & not see answers. But Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us that we have an immediate answer to every prayer - God's peace. Peace that will guard our hearts & minds in the wait.
He hears us… He loves us… He is with us.
When I obsess over things out of my control, it makes me act out of control. A much better place to park my mind is to look for God's protection, provision, and lessons on perseverance in the midst of whatever I'm facing.
Prayer does make a difference. A life-changing, mind-blowing, earth-rattling difference.
We don’t need to know how. We don’t need to know when. We just need to kneel confidently & know the tremors of a simple Jesus girl’s prayers extend far wide & far high & far deep.
If we allow our thoughts to stink, that smell will leak out of every bit of us—our words, our actions, and especially our reactions.
“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." Proverbs 23:7 NLV
A good reminder for us to check what we’re allowing to run through our minds today.
Is there a prayer you’ve been waiting on God to answer for so long that you’re just about ready to give up?
Keep praying, friend. He's listening. It’s just that He loves us too much to answer our prayers at any other time than the right time. #EmbracedDevotional
