Are things in your life not as clear as they use to be? Have you been making a lot of life decisions without talking with God first?
Maybe you’ve gone off the road that you once felt the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit and His guidance when you spent intimate time with Him. That’s where you really felt and heard Him so clearly. Are you now wondering where God is? He didn’t go anywhere. It’s usually us who drift off into other things that take our precious time away from our First Love. So if there is a road you should walk, just ask God …… “Help me find it” Talk with Him, then listen.
Here is the hard part……. Be still, but keep praying. Lift your empty hands, and He will fill you again. He will help you to see things from His view. Even when it hurts, let Him have His way.
Once you’ve tasted the power of the Holy Spirit you never forget it, and you don’t want to go a day without Him. But we all tend to get on our busy schedules, and time spent with God is not our first choice anymore. Here is a good word from God for that. Galatians 3:3, “Are you so foolish? After beginning by the means of the Spirit, are you trying to finish by means of the flesh?” Yes, we all tend to make excuses of why we don’t pray. When we move in life without talking to God, we are walking in the flesh.
2 Corinthians 3: 3, “You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts.” This is the only way to rest in the Lord and trust Him with everything, and every area of your life. He is in you. Let Him walk you through, and learn from Him along the way of waiting.
Here is a devotional I read the other day and I hope it helps you too….. “When Jesus was in agony the night before His crucifixion, He prayed fervently, dreading the cross but submitting Himself to His Father’s higher purpose. We will face deep anguish in our lives, everyone does. When that happens we can do what Jesus did: Pray….. Pray hard, pray deep, pray honestly, pray out all your feelings. Pray until you sweat and cry and fall down in exhaustion. Pray with others, pray alone, pray as long as it takes….and then pray longer. Pray because nothing else works, and keep praying when it doesn’t seem to work. Pray because Jesus prayed, pray because you want to pray, pray because you don’t want to pray. Pray out loud, pray quietly. Pray whenever you think about it. Pray instead of just thinking about it. Pray when you walk, and when you drive, and when you wake up, and before you go to sleep. Pray before you forget. Pray right now!”
