Words of Hope for Hurting Hearts
One of the hardest things to do is to pray and wait on God to act. When faced with a difficult decision, a challenging circumstance, a despairing heart -- it seems God is never in a hurry to make everything better for us. That's because we look at things through the faulty lens of our human eyes, forgetting that God is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think, according to his power at work within us (Ephesians 3:20). Today I found myself despairing over things I cannot control and wondering if there is anything God would have me do differently than I am already doing. As I sit here thinking about it all, I wonder why I spend so much time fretting about these things when I know that God is quite capable of handling it all. No matter the scenarios that I play in my mind, only one thing ultimately matters to me -- being in God's will, even if at the moment it is a difficult place to be. Friends, when will we ever learn that God is good, his ways are higher
