waiting

I often speak of the importance of creating space for God in our lives. Not doing more things for him but being with him in silence and solitude. Creating this space allows God to speak into our lives.

Many times, when I am making a big decision, I quietly offer that decision to God and ask for his guidance. I am learning not to fret over it but to leave it with him and trust that he will lead me. I may verbalize the prayer, one time, to Him. Then I sit in silence with Him. I wait and see.

This doesn’t mean that I don’t have my part to do. I think that may be the most difficult thing…determining what part is God’s and what part is mine. So, I spend time, quietly with God, and wait for Him to respond, to speak, to move. One author puts it this way….my job is to wait and see…..WAIT for God to speak and then be able to SEE what He is doing.

I have come to love waiting to see how God will work things out. I enjoy paying attention to how he wants me to respond, to work with him. It has helped me to relax a bit. Consider spending some sacred time with God today. Give Him time and space to speak to you. Look forward to what He has to say.

Grace and peace,
