yes...no...waiting
Being a Christian is a challenge at times. We all have our struggles and issues, I guess if we didn’t we wouldn’t need Christ.
Lately, I have been in prayer about some things that are pressing in my life. My usual prayer is Lord I want Your will to become my will and Your heart to become my heart and that the Holy Spirit helps me to be willing for that to happen. I feel that this is what we are called to do.
I did have a good conversation with Ms. DeDaw the other day. She says Miss Melody, "I have a job opportunity and I am just going to tell God that this is what I want." I was like hmmmm.
It got me to thinking...should I be more specific in my prayers? It is a hard thing, knowing what to pray. So in some areas of my life I have decided that I am going to start praying specifically. One thing in particular. It has been the ‘wait’ answer. There hasn’t been a yes or a no, just this wait and see mode. Ya know, sometimes times, that gets OLD. I was praying the other day and I said, "I am tired of the MAYBE answer, can I get something definite here?" Have I? Uhmmmmmm…..No. Just more waiting.
So, where does that leave me? I guess I need to pray for God to help me accept where I am and to continue to ask the Holy Spirit to help guide my heart and that my choices will be what God wants.
SOOOO, there ya go. I do think that God does want us to be specific in our prayers, at the same time, we need to remember that things do not come in our time. *grumble, grumble* AND more importantly we need to pray that God will give us the patience that we need and that He will continue to show us what He desires.
