I wanted to start out by asking a few questions.
Do you feel stuck? Do you feel alone or forgotten? Do you feel broken? Do you question your worth? Do you question what your supposed to do ?
It’s so easy for us to forget to call a friend when we know they are going through something or just to follow up on a problem we’ve been avoiding. We become so consumed with our busy lives. We believe God has those same qualities. When we think God isn’t answering us quick enough we jump to that conclusion. But guess what? God is not like man. He has not forgotten you.He doesn’t move on our time because we know nothing about what we actually need. Sometimes we can pray for months for something and we don’t see God answering that prayer just yet. But that is because it is not the right time.
We must get to the point in our hearts where all we need to be satisfied is the LORD.
“You must worship the LORD your God and serve only him.” Luke 4:8
I have learned that the Lord tends to answer my prayer when I stop worshipping it. Don’t turn that prayer or that thing into an idol.
This world tells us we need to be happy all the time to be satisfied but we really just need to be intimate with the Father. We need to be surrendered to the Lord by faith even when we don’t understand. We need to sit at his feet daily and rest in Him alone. We need to find joy and contentment where the Lord has placed us! I know you feel like you not good enough but you have to give those feelings to the Lord and let him show you your heart.
The prayer I have been praying lately has been , ” Lord, make my heart like yours and take out anything in me that is unlike you. “
To be honest, lately I have been feeling inadequate and not good enough to be used. But I know that is a lie, and that has been something I have been seeking the Lord for. I am only sharing that because I want to show you that you are not alone, You are not the only person that feels that way. How you think and feel about yourself matters.
We often compare our lives to others , but we have no idea what that person went through to get there. I found myself often comparing my life to others and that caused jealousy, and that led to feeling rejected. I had to make the decision to stay living in that place or if I was going give that area to the Lord. I was tired of feeling like I wasn’t enough. If you find your self jealous or thinking negatively about yourself, ask the lord to teach you to be content. surrender those things to the lord. If you are not renewing your mind daily by reading God’s word and studying the scripture, your mind will remain the same.
I love each and every one of you! But most importantly , God loves you! You are not forgotten! You are enough !
