Is God silent in your life? What prayers has He not answered for you?
At a time of unanswered prayer in my life years ago, one of the hymns that helped me was this and I still quote when I am totally baffled by events that seem to sway off what I have asked:
Trust Him when dark doubts assail thee,
Trust Him when thy strength is small,
Trust Him when to simply trust Him, seems the hardest thing of all.
Is your focus on your immediate need blinding you to a greater purpose that God is working out? Would you choose to be patient and simply trust Him? Sometimes God does not answer our immediate prayer because He has something greater in store for us.
Ask yourself the question "Is Jesus my abiding joy?" When He is the focus of our lives and we rest fully in Him trusting in His supernatural plan even during times when we're waiting with unanswered prayers, joy springs up! And with joy, you draw water from the well of salvation.
Though other people may not really understand what you are going through, but the one who understands perfectly will uphold you with his right hand. Your trust and hope in him will not be dashed. And you will not fall off his back in Jesus name. Amen.
Good Morning and do have a gracious midweek.
