I keep asking Him what He wants me to do. All I hear is "Wait". But waiting can be difficult and lonely. I am waiting in faith. Faith that He has this covered. That He won't abandon me. I have evidence to support His faithfulness. So I'm clinging to that.
I'm praying for myself, but I'm praying really hard for someone else. Someone who is struggling. He's depressed and dissatisfied and scared. Maybe he's feeling hopeless, I'm not sure. I want to fix it, but I can't. I've got some ideas on things that might help, but he's not receptive right now.
So I'm waiting. It's not something I'm particularly good at, and it's not something our society encourages. We are the "get it now" society. "Just do it". "Have it your way." In America, especially, we are the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" kind of people.
None of those are going to cut it in this situation.
So I keep praying, reading, confessing, and asking, with no end in sight. I know what I want, hope, believe to be the outcome -- I just don't know how it's going to happen.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you are going through such a difficult season. I am no good at wait either. Not at all! I pray things will come around and you'll get the outcome you are looking for.
ReplyDeleteWaiting is hard. I have waited what seems a life time for some answers and yet see God work in amazing ways. One day at a time. I am your partner in 31 dayers. blessings. Diana
