Random Ramblings Of An Imperfect Girl, Loved by a Perfect God.

Have you ever felt the panic of silence in your prayer life? You pray and live a life reflective of Christ, but there is only silence. Speaking from experience, it is terrifying. You second guess everything you are doing, you pray and pray and you are going nowhere. Interestingly enough. Silence was the key. God showed me what I needed to see. Look at Sarah. She prayed for years for a child and even laughed when God told Abraham she would have a child. Then, at 90 years old, God gave her Issac. Ruth was a stranger in Naomi’s land. She worked and was faithful in this strange land and God gave her ownership of the fields she worked in. Hannah cried and lamented so long and so often in the temple that the priests believed her to be a drunk. All she wanted was to poor her pain and her hurt to God in hopes of one day having the child she dreamed of. Through her persistence, God gave her the desire of her heart.

“Remembering mine affliction and my misery, The wormwood and the gall. My soul hath them still in remembrance, And is humbled in me. This I recall to my mind, Therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, Because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: Great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; Therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, To the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly Wait for the salvation of the LORD.”

Lamentations 3:19-26 KJV Waiting is hard. Unknowns are inevitable. We are not alone in our time in between. God is with us and refining us for the blessing yet to come. Have a blessed night y’all!
