Feel guilty falling asleep while praying? How do you feel when a child nods off in your lap? And how much more must your Heavenly Father feel about you when this happens? There. Feel better? You should!
No matter how impossible that miracle you are praying for seems, please trust that only God knows the full story. He is working. He is hearing and shifting and intervening and convicting and stirring and doing what only He can do.
What you’re seeing around you right now isn’t the whole story. Don’t feel like if things didn’t work out today, that God’s not working.
Keep pressing on. Keep believing God. Keep trusting that His way is the best way.
I don’t understand why cucumbers don’t know when to stop growing. I leave town for 5 days and come home to a garden full of cucumbers the size of hay bales. It’s like a dark VeggieTales episode and Larry’s playing Goliath.
Sometimes changing the world means getting quiet enough for God to change me.
Lord, help me choose to make time with You a priority. Each and every day. I want Your Word and Your love to work wonders in my soul.
Jesus never once says, “Perform for Me.” Instead, He tenderly whispers, “Draw near to Me.”
He wants us to learn from Him. Discover who He is and all that we have in Him. Cling to the precious promises He has given us, and receive from Him all that we need to live for Him today.
I don’t know what steps of obedience God is calling you to take. But let me encourage you to keep going. Keep trusting. Keep taking step after obedient step.
We don’t have to understand the why of God’s ways. But we do need to keep choosing to follow them.
