As believers, we are called- no, commanded- to seek God’s will for our lives. For some perhaps this comes easy. As for myself, you may as well call me Jacob because I often find myself wrestling with God. I like my way. My will. Of course I pray for God’s will to be done in my life, but I often have a difficult time putting it into practice. I am impatient. I dislike waiting. I think my way is best. But deep inside I know it’s not.
God has shown me time and time again that His way is best. His timing is the best timing. My recent wrestling match with God has been such a struggle that I pray on a daily basis “Lord, please work in spite of me.” I fear that God is going to give me my timing and my way and allow me to deal with the consequences of my sin. God forbid.
I would really covet your prayers during this time in my life as I am questioning God’s timing and really hurting inside. This area of my life has always been a struggle as it is something I am so passionate about. Thanks in advance.
I am praying for you my dear friend. Let me know if you need to vent! I am here for you if and when you need me. Love you.
In case you didn’t realize who momo2 is, it’s me Rachel! I am praying for you too kid. Love ya
Mandy, it can be so hard exxcepting God’s will in our lives at times. I remember the year we were trying for our first child. The fears that we might be one of those couples that could never have children or that we may not have a child for years. God was so good during that season of my life, and I now look back at it with a smile and see HIS hand in it every step of the way.
I hope you can look back and see God’s hand in this time in your life as well.
I love your prayer “Lord, please work in spite of me.”
I needed to read that. I need to pray this for myself right now. Well,….always really.
