Sometimes...

Sometimes you just don't know what to pray for. Some days are hard when you are going through "stuff" ...just everyday ups and downs. But, when you look around you can only feel blessed that your stuff isn't as big as other peoples "stuff". But, your hear aches for what others are going through. Sometimes, I just pray out to God and say "you know my words...you know the words in my heart even if they don't come out of my mouth". He knows what we go through daily and the issues that arise. He knows the people on our heart and the struggles we have daily. The insignificant things...He knows. The big things...He knows. When I feel like I have no direction and clarity on issues I can pray for it. God tells us in James 1..."If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking". (‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ NLT). Go to him like a parent guiding his child. Ask him for clarity. Ask him for answers and seek his will. I struggle with my will and his will. Let his will be mine and not mine his. He knows the best answer...but I have to seek it from him. For me it is not writing on the wall and an answer is given. But rather a tug at the heart and soul knowing the right thing I should do. The unsettling feeling when I follow a certain path and know that it doesn't feel right. I earnestly pray that my boys seek God in big things and little things. That I can teach them at a young age to ask and seek Gods will in everything. Instead of waiting until later in life to truly seek God as I did. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. "For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." (‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭7-8‬ NIV) "For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." (‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭8‬ NIV)
