I have had a slow week. I have brought a lot of issues and struggles into my prayer time and I can feel the emotional and spiritual drain. Some days… I really don’t feel as if The World Race is going to happen for me. I’m pressing though this… and want to come out stronger on the other side. Discouragement could settle in, but I’m hanging my hat on God’s promises. God is good. God is faithful… and He will continue His good work (in and through me) until its completion.
In many ways I have enjoyed my time without my hurried schedule. I have dedicated mornings to prayer and devotions. It’s been a wonderful, revealing, humbling, refreshing time with me and my Savior. During this last week I have felt conviction and grace, and have been filled with compassion and understanding. I have been blessed with opportunities of fellowship and encouragement and I know I have learned a lot.
I know that God says to rest, but it’s easier said then done. I have money to raise and deadlines to meet. I need to be doing something to better my situation. Conviction set in when I realize that my faith wasn’t where it should be. I have heard it said that God doesn’t move mountains anymore because we find away around them. It’s so true. I asked God to provide… and then tried to find a way to solve it myself, in my own timing.
I am finding rest… and trusting a little more… I’m being changed.
