Happy Sunday! Do you ever feel like you are waiting to hear from God, but don't? You are waiting for an answer, waiting for some good news "God mail" and it doesn't seem to come? I am learning that when I am not hearing from God it means I am usually not listening very well. Maybe I am not listening because I am waiting to hear what I WANT to hear. Or, maybe my feelings are clouding what I am hearing and I am not believing what God is telling me. I am learning that when I can't seem to hear God's voice, I need to dig into his Word more and talk to him more in prayer. I am also learning to "force" myself to hear from God during those times when maybe I don't want to listen by asking, "God, what are you saying to me about this?" And when we listen and hear from God we get the added bonus of increased faith which always makes life better. Have a great week!
I needed to hear this because I have been praying for sometime now about something very dear to me and I want to see it answered in my lifetime!!! :) I know that my timing isn't Gods and he has things that need to happen before this will come about and it also has to be his will.... I just have to keep praying , praising , & trusting him until he shows me his answer. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I could just copy & paste what My Country Heaven Cottage just commented. Those are my sentiments exactly. I feel so ungrateful when I entertain the thought that He is not hearing me or answering my prayers. I too just need to keep praying, praising & believing in my heavenly Father.
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to wait on God's answers, but I hold onto my faith and I trust and know that He will answer at the perfect time.
ReplyDeleteThis was a timely post. I have something weighing on my mind, been praying about it, and can't seem to see the answer. It's frustrating.
