🍁 What a sweet promise today…

The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.”
Psalm 32:8, NLT

💙 I’m re-reading a book on prayer called “The Circle Maker” by Mark Batterson.

Today’s reading was all about waiting on the Lord and open & closed doors.

These words really spoke to me…

“Our Heavenly Father is far too wise and loves us far too much to give us everything we ask for.

Someday we’ll thank God for the prayers He didn’t answer as much or more than the ones He did….

Sometimes God gets in the way to show us the way.”

♥️ Have you experienced this??

I sure have!

“In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].”
Proverbs 3:6, AMP

🌻 Perplexed? Unsure?

Have you ever found yourself perplexed & unsure of what to do next?

Maybe you are right now?

😶‍🌫️ Life is full of challenges that put us in a place of uncertainty… that uncomfortable place of not seeing a way out or a path through.

It can feel foggy and misty and mind-boggling.

🩵 This morning, I reread the story of King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20. (It’s a good one!)

When this king and his people faced an unsurmountable difficulty, they looked to heaven and prayed.

When they weren’t sure how to proceed, they sought the Lord.

[We can do the same!]

🙏🏻 And we can even use the words of their prayer…

“Oh our God, won’t you stop this?
We are powerless against this.
We do not know what to do, but we are looking to you for help.”
(2 Chronicles 20:12)

🙌🏻 You can pray this prayer about anything today.

- A relationship.
- A job.
- A financial situation.
- Family drama.
- Church drama.
- Loneliness and loss.
- Sickness and health issues.
- That situation no one else knows about.
- Anything!

You can look to heaven and talk to God about every single issue and concern you have today!

“Give all your worries to him [Cast all your anxiety on him], because he cares about you.”
1 Peter 5:7

🌻 Do you ever feel overwhelmed, unsure of where life is leading you next?

There are moments when we all feel drained, weighed down by uncertainty about what lies ahead.

♥️ The good news is that God never asks us to rely on our own strength.

He meets us right where we are, fills us with His peace, and faithfully carries us forward one step at a time.

“His strength meets us in our weakness, His peace steadies our hearts, and His presence carries us forward.” Melanie Redd

“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NASB)

☀️What a sweet promise:

“For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.”
Psalm 84:11, NLT
