Oh what to say what to say.
I know I want to blog right now but I just can't put all the words together easily enough.
So this blog will probably seem a little scrambled and weird. Oh well, I'm weird. What can I say?!
Okay -- so there is this thing I've been praying about for a month now probably. See, I've given God the pen to a certain aspect of my life. I mean he has the pen to my whole life story, but with this area I'm just like "Whatever God, you take this; I'm tired of messing with it." I've have prayed really hard about this situation and I think God is finally answering my "questions" but it feels off. I'm trying to be chill and everything about it, but something isn't right. What I think God's answer is shouldn't be swaying for yes to no with each passing day. I don't understand why I'm not able to hear God's exact answer and I don't understand what I can do to hear it. I read my Bible every night and I'm trying to follow closely to Him; not because I want the answer - I just do that because I want a better relationship with God. So, readers, how do you know when God is talking to you and what His answer is? Please share any advice/stories with me.
John 10:27 - My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
I'm scared I'm not hearing God's voice. I should be able too. I should know His voice. Or could it be that I'm too stubborn to listen and take His answer to what He wants for me? I just wish it was Bible times and I could actually hear His voice.
Tell me what you think,
Cherish

I totally understand you! I have always struggled to "hear" God's voice. Something to think about is while I'm sitting there waiting for God to answer my "questions", it often times isn't actually easy to hear his voice. But rather, when I know that he is going to take care of it and I don't think about it anymore, then the next thing I know is the pray has been answered. I have always loved the song that became a hit recently through the movie "Fireproof."
ReplyDelete"I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait
"I will move ahead, bold and confident
Takeing every step in obedience
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait
"I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord"
It is a great song and it always gives me a little hop in my step to know that God is taking care of my troubles and that after praying, I just need to serve him and worship him while I'm waiting.
I love you girl, can't wait for you to come to town :D
Try reading the story of Gideon again. When I'm in a pinch, it never hurts to simply ask for a difinitive answer. :)
