What happens when you are in that place where there seems to be no options, no obvious solutions?
This week I was reminded once again that there is an amazing God of the universe who is able and willing to intervene...
Let everyone give all their praise and thanks to the Lord!
Here's why - he's better than anyone could every imagine.
Yes, he's always loving and kind, and his faithful love never ends.
Psalm 107:1 TPT
But how difficult is it when we are in the waiting? We know that He is able and He will. We just don't know when and how! These are the times when we have to choose to trust Him, and keep choosing to trust Him, and keep choosing to trust Him.
When I am afraid, I put my trust in You. Psalm 56:3 NIV
It sounds so simple to do - just put your trust in God. It's in these times that we need to keep our eyes firmly fixed on Jesus. We can't look to the left or to the right as there are distractions all around. We need to do whatever it takes to keep God's truth front and centre in our minds. His promises, His rhema words to us, that is what we need to be meditating on. Not the 'I don't know,' the 'What if,' the 'It's not going to work.' And I am reminding myself of this now too!
I set my heart on your precepts and pay close attention to all your ways. My delight is found in all your laws, and I won't forget to walk in your words. Psalm 119:15-16 TPT
A couple of weeks ago someone asked me if there was a prayer in my book they could pray during a family member's major operation. There wasn't a prayer as such. However I spent some time reading through the scriptures that I had included, scriptures that had breathed life and hope into me in some very dark moments, and compiled them into this prayer.
So let's pray and declare God's truth over our lives and circumstances....
