Sometimes I struggle with gods will for my life. Should I go forward or go back? Should I stay where I am or do something else? I feel alone and scared. I feel lost and confused. I feel like an oreo cookie in an empty bag. There are many people who feel like this every day.
In this world of electronics and technology it is hard to feel connected to anyone (including god). People focus on their phones and themselves. It leaves people feeling lonely and unsatisfied. People don't talk to each other or god. We need to be real about how we are feeling. If we can't be real, how are we supposed to get the most out of this life? One of my favorite bible verses is John 16:33. These are the words of the Lord "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." God wants us to come to him with our troubles. How can we know or hear his will if we don't make it a priority to come to him.
We need to take a breath, slow down, and quiet ourselves before the lord. Taking a breath means breathing in the holy spirit that is readily available to us if we can just invite him in. Slowing down means that we put our devices down and stop overscheduling ourselves. To be quiet before the lord means that we intentionally invite the lord into our lives. We need to be quiet and listen for the small voice that is calling out to us. We need to be open for the answers we have been searching for. Sometimes the answer will be yes. Sometimes the answer will be no. Sometimes the answer will be not right now. God knows our future. He knows what is best for us. We need to Stop, Drop to our knees, and Roll into the blessings the lord has for us.
It is hard to know gods will for our lives. We need to give up control to the one that knows it all. We need to trust in gods will for our lives. Not our own.
