Faith

At this time in my life I am in what seems like a very long transition. My life has not turned out the way I had planned and everything is in God's hands. I feel unsure about my life and relying totally on Him as I believe this is the best way to live my life. I have things that I know that are not in His will, however, I don't know where I am going. I work with Him and know He will guide me in the ways He sees fit for me. The main thing for me is to be totally surrendered in Him and hear for His guidance and let Him work with me. I am learning more and more to take everything to Him, my wishes, my situation, my weaknesses, my relationships, challenging things, just plain everything and trust Him that He will bring the right sources in my life and illuminate me on the steps I need to take.

Sometimes I feel guilty and shameful about where I am at that doesn't fit standards that I thought would be in place in my life by now. But, I realize more and more as I am working through these feelings that He is always there and that I only need to listen and be open to His guidance and not allow my own and others' expectations to devalue where I am at.

There is a reason for where I am at. I also need to accept my situation and allow critics to be there. Sometimes they are right and it does not
have to crush me and other times they are wrong. I know that God is guiding me and His guidance comes to me in a loving way.

A PRAYER

Father, as I sit in this transition, I
feel very powerless. I feel at times
ashamed that I cannot change things. The
world's standards tell me I am not
a success. I know You have a plan for
me, but, if it is more I am to do will
you strengthen and illuminate me in spite
of myself.

Father, as I sit in this transition, I
see more and more that my self-esteem
is in You. It seems You have placed me
to walk through this and I accept. I
don't know why, but, I know I can trust
in You to lead me through and when and
if I achieve any worldly success it is
because You have allowed it. This place
I am in teaches me how powerless I am and
yet how powerful I am in You and You in me.
I want to follow your leading and I wait
on You Father. Thank You. Amen.
