Waiting Well

It's easy in the middle of the wait to start to question and even start to believe lies that try an creep in. Satan loves for us to question God's will. It creates distance and doubt during a time God is trying to strength our relationship with Him.

Here are a few questions that become easy to start asking while we wait.

"Did I hear God correctly?"
"I thought this is what God wanted me to do so why is it so hard?"
When uncertainty and doubt start trying to steal my joy I run to God, by praying and spending time with Him I can regain confidence as God guides my steps.

Am I not praying hard enough?
Prayer doesn't always change our circumstances but it almost always changes how I feel about my circumstances.
Don't know how to pray?
Just talk to God.
Sound bonkers? That's okay, you talk to yourself right? It's no different than that.
I always end my prayer the same way
"God not my will but yours."

Do I not have enough faith?
"Christian's: We have the same problems just a different solution."

Just because I'm a believer doesn't mean my access to God is different than anyone else's. That's the beauty of the cross, equal access. "The vail was torn" we don't have to go through a high persist anymore and unbelievers don't have to go through Christians. No one has to interceed for you. Right where you are you can go to Him. We are all unworthy but it's about a "consistent faith not a perfect faith" -Bill Stewart

I just think if you have tried other things and it's not working, why not give this whole God thing a try? What do you have to loose?

I know I use quotes and song lyrics a lot but "people ask me how do I know what I believe? Well I'm not the same me and that's all the proof I need." -Britt Nicole

I'm not perfect I constantly need grace and forgiveness, but I am a different person than I was 8yrs ago. I'll be different next year too, because this is about continued growth. I love that I don't have to pretend to have it all together. It's through transparency that people come to faith.

I'm thankful for our church. Our church is different, It's hard to explain...they call it "a hospital for the broken, not a place for the righteous." So if you're looking for the perfect church it's not ours, but if you're looking for a "come as you are" place where real people do life together there is a seat for you at The Table!

Waiting seasons are growing seasons.
Yes its hard and it hurts, I know, I'm right there with you sweet friend but there is a purpose, one that we can't see right now.

If you're finding yourself asking some of these questions it doesn't have to be a bad thing. Just be sure that these questions lead you to seek Jesus and His will instead of letting the questions cause distance, resentment, and doubt.
