Awaiting

Posted in Renewing and Justification. on Friday, February 24th, 2012 by Anthony
Feb 24

This is one of the hardest things I have ever done.  I am “patiently” waiting on Gods answer.  Its amazing how nonchalant we are with our everyday decisions and say we are letting God be a part of it, then to realize for me I have no patience.  I want an answer to come so fast because I am like “Hey, Lord I am waiting on you.” and because of that the answer should come quicker.  Yeah it doesn’t work like that and as I have been waiting on decisions to make, more options for me arise and it becomes even more truthful for me that I will have to trust God completely in making the right decision.  Who would have ever thought that waiting on an answer from God would cause so much anxiety.  It turns out I am the one causing the anxiety because God already knows the answer, FRUSTRATING.  Then while all of this was going on a close friend of mine sends me a scripture and he says as he was studying, God placed me on his heart and the situation that I am in and gave him this scripture.  Jeremiah 29:11, yes it is a famous scripture that many people know, however, in this moment in my life it has become the most critical piece of scripture that has brought me some peace.  It was God’s way of telling me to chill and live life to the full as I wait to give you the answer that will be best for you, Anthony.  It has been pretty  cool for me in prayers of late that God adds my name as we talk.

Jeremiah 29:11-For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” AMEN to that and to Jesus for always looking out for me when I am most in need.
