Has your inpatient nature gotten the best of you? Have you wanted instant gratification? An instant solution now? Have you forgotten that God isn't a genie in a bottle? Have you grown tired while waiting on the Lord? Have you forgotten that his timing is perfect? That he keeps us in the waiting rooms of life for a specific reason and purpose.
Dear reader's we might not understand God's ways but we need to make a choice to boldly and courageously keep trusting him. God knows what he's doing. God sees a way out of our dark tunnels long before we can.
In Isaiah 55:8 it says, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord". The verse continues, "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts".
Today what solution are you longing for? What waiting room or rooms are you in today? Perhaps like me you've been praying for family members for what feels like year's. Maybe at times your not even sure how to pray for certain people anymore. If so keep praying. Even when you can't find the word's to say the spirt knows the deep groanings and longings of the heart. The spirit knows what you're trying to petition God for even when you can't find the words. Sometimes I think we wrongly punish ourselves for walking away from the ones that hurt us. We forget that walking away and handing over to God is not nor never will be giving up on people. Giving people over to God is loving them even if it has to be from a healthy distance.
Loving people even after they've hurt you is never wrong. To choose to love is always right no matter how painful or messy things can get. We are called to love. We are called to forgive. We are called to pray for heart changes not for our benefits but for there's.
Take a moment to just talk to God about the things that are heavy on your heart today. Take a moment to just worship him! Here's a prayer and a great song to listen to while you focus your heart, your mind, and emotions on GOD!!
Father today I pray for anyone out there that's struggling with family. The ones that like me that have been forced to close doors. Let go and let you do what only you can do. The ones that wonder if heart changes will ever happen. For me and other's out there help us keep holding onto hope. Continue to tell us to not grow weary or impatient. Help us praise you while were waiting. Remind us that great change takes time. Heart changes take time. In the meantime while we're waiting we are growing. We are being molded in beautiful ways by you. We are digging deeper roots of faith. We are hearing your words and I pray that we are acting upon them. For there's power in your word's. There's love in your word's and there's hope abundantly. Never ever give up on anyone! You don't know what changes the Lord can bring upon them. For nothing is or will ever be impossible for God.
