Do you ever struggle with "waiting on the Lord"? Not very easy at times. This is something I struggle greatly with. It is my nature to want to "fix" everything. I have come to realize that I cant "fix" everything. This lesson has been painful at times.
In recent weeks, I have spent many hours in prayer for my children. I use to think when they were small they were a handful! I have found that those were the easiest of times and the teen years are the hard ones. In my quiet time, God has shown me so much when it comes to my children.
1. They are not mine, they are His! He has loaned them to me for a time, but make no mistake, they belong to Him!
2. He is always watching, listening, and there when I cant be.
3. He has control of all situations, even when they are not real good.
When one of my children struggle, I immediately want to fix it. I'm their mother, thats what we do.....right?? In recent weeks, I have cried and pleaded with God to tell me what to do so I can fix things. In my quiet time, God said....."Wait for the Lord, be courageous and let your heart be strong, wait for the Lord". I know what He wants and I also know I need Him to help me do it. It is so hard to wait sometimes, but I know with Him, I can. How assuring to know, that no matter what they choose, what happens, God is in control.
