John 11:25-26
What hardship or struggle are you dealing with right now? Write out a prayer giving it to God and laying it at the foot of the cross:
My current struggle is getting back on His Path. While I have never strayed that far, I have never really fully followed it. I have always lived my life doing what I know to be best, what I believed to be best, how “I” thought He wanted me to do things. What I was missing was His Will in it. He would point me in a direction and I would go… but I then took the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc steps on my own. THAT SAID, I fully believe in Free Will, there are times that God expects us to act on our own, with his Guidance at some level. BUT when he lays out a path or direction and does not clearly tell you to go at it, then you have to learn to Wait and Listen. I have not been very good at that.
The Struggle for me is Waiting, Listening, having Faith, Patients.
Prayer: “Heavenly Father, please open my heart and fill me with your Spirit. Help to discipline me to learn to Wait and Listen. To follow your Guidance and stay on your path. My mind often gets in the way, you have blessed me with my natural talents, but I need to lean on you for Guidance in how to proceed and use them. Help to open my heart and give me the patients to wait in Your word. Amen.”
