I have learned that doing God's will sometimes means waiting patiently. The Lord wants us to love Him, serve others and tell others about Him while we wait. I know that waiting upon the Lord requires patience and I know He hears my cries and that His face is upon me. I do not worry. I still cry but I notice it is a quick little fest and then I am back in business. I think it is healthy to allow ourselves to feel the emotion and then be done before our heads begins to tell us things. We must be mindful of our thoughts and feelings for they will lie to us if we allow them to. Through experience I also have learned that I cannot receive my blessings unless I go through my trial of waiting. But the good news is He is alive and worthy of my praise and He is faithful. I trust Him with my life and I allow Him to guide me through. If I am asking Him for something and I am in my season of waiting then I have learned to wait upon Him but at the same time not dwell on what is yet to come. Instead I power through, I continue to rejoice in Him and share Him with others. I do not wallow in my sorrow for I am blessed beyond measure and I am forever grateful for all He has done in my life. I simply reflect back on all the things He has done for me and my life and it allows me that assurance to know if He can do all that, then He is still in control and His "will" will be done in my life. So rest in Him, trust Him, let go and let Him. Stop trying to control the situation and stop trying to steer the wheel. Let Jesus take the wheel and rest in the passenger's seat. I promise you, it is peaceful and it is marvelous ride.
Psalm 40
