Have you ever found yourself in a season where you feel like God is hearing everyone else’s prayers but yours? I know God loves me. And I’m so thankful and blessed getting to watch God move in people’s lives around me. But I have found myself telling my close friends about me feeling that way with tears streaming down my face. If you are feeling that way right now, let me wrap you in a warm embrace and virtually hug you and say,”me too.”
I’ve thought to myself, “God I am trying to do the right thing. I am trying to stay in Your word. I am trying to keep You first in my life. -even doing things that I don’t want to do but I know You are asking me to. Why is this so hard? Where are You. I want to want what you want for me, and God if what I'm wanting is not what you have for me, change my desires. Make my desires what You desire. Jesus, just help me. ”
I have found myself LOVING to read as an adult. A book I’m currently reading said,”whenever we are waiting on God, we are actually waiting with God.” And that was so comforting to me.
So if you feel right now that God isn’t hearing you and feel that God has forgotten you- let me reassure you that He loves you so much. In the waiting He is working. He’s not a genie and He doesn’t always give us what we want, but He does give us what we need. It doesn’t always look like what we pictured. He loves us too much to always give us what we want. He’s right next to you. Don’t grow impatient. Be thankful for the closed doors and prayers not answered the way you wanted. He has a plan, His will, His way.
“People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious He will be when you cry for help! As soon as He hears, He will answer you. Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
Isaiah 30: 19-21 NIV
