When You Start To Grow Tired And Weary

Sometimes I find myself thinking - should I really be doing all of this?!

Do Not Be Weary

I have my freak out, burn out, light dimmed moments. Dark moments where I begin to lose faith and patience.

Even when God puts a dream in my heart and tells me “I will lead you to this, just trust me”, I still fall short and try to take matters into my own hands. I begin to put my faith and trust into the things around me instead of the One who lives in me.

If you’ve ever began to lose hope or grow weary while chasing your dreams or waiting for your next big thing, remember this:

GOD IS FAITHFUL, YOU ARE FORGETFUL.

I had to have a reality check: God isn’t our servant. He is not obligated to follow our timetable. The world is His and it will operate according to His plan and timeline.

This realization came at the point I was confused. God knows what He is doing.

“Lord, what exactly is going on?! You closed that door again. I keep getting extremely great feedback on my interview and audition, yet I’m not getting the job offer. Is my dream job not what You desire for me?”

While it’s great to have my own goals and dreams, I must always remain flexible and obedient to God. Sometimes we paint our own pictures, pray over it, claim it, work toward it, only for God to redirect it.

Hmmmm . . .

You may not be exactly where you want to be right now. However, when you learn to shut up and stop complaining, remove the clutter and listen to God, you’ll discover that your present situation is actually pushing you closer to the future plans He promised you.
