What do you do when you feel like God told you something was yours
and it doesn't happen? Did I hear right?! Did I make this all up?!
What is it that I'm supposed to learn from this?!
I keep hearing
God say TRUST ME! But how?! When I thought I was trusting Him, it
seemed like things kept falling apart. Do I move?! Do I stand still?!
Do I wait?! I'm so confused because what I thought I heard the Lord
tell me, seems to not be what HE told me...I think.
I'm hurt! I'm
depressed! I want to be by myself all the time and mope. But, part of
me wants to hold on, fight, and not give up. What do I do?! I feel
like crying constantly, but can't bring myself to do it. I've asked
friends to keep me in prayer, but it doesn't feel like that's enough. I
want to scream! Cry! Yell and break things to get this anger out. I'm
mad, not only at myself, but at the fact that I feel like everything God
has told me wasn't what He told me.
Am I tripping?! What is
going on?! What do you want me to do?! How do I continue to hold on
when I'm being told no, over and over again?! I want to trust! I want
to believe, but everything around me is telling me to move on, it's not
going to work out. Lord, you know my situation. You know what's going
on?! How do I move forward?! What do you want me to do?! I feel like
I'm doing something wrong and don't know how to make it right?!
Then
I hear...I'm here D'ondra. I see you're hurt. I feel your pain. I
know what you're going through. None of this is every easy, but you
need to Trust Me. You need to know I'm in control of it all. Everything
you're going through is for a reason. This is going to make you
stronger. This is going to make you rely on Me for any and everything
you need. Hold on! I'm working it out for your good.
I feel a
breath or relief coming...a weight lifted off my shoulders. A peace
that only God can give. It makes me remember what He told me again and
to hold on a little while longer. I know He make everything beautiful
in His time.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for. Every time I question what's up with God, 1st I look at how I'm living, then I remember what Faith is.
