Greetings, Precious Family. May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.
Family, today my heart wrestled with one of the oldest questions ever written:
“To be or not to be?”
While those words are often associated with Shakespeare, tonight they have taken on a different meaning for me.
Life has a way of bringing us to moments where we quietly ask ourselves difficult questions.
– Am I doing something wrong?
– Have I missed God’s direction?
– Have I done everything I know to do?
Sometimes we stand at the foot of a mountain that seems impossible to climb. We have prayed, worked, waited, and remained faithful, yet the finish line still feels as though it is just beyond our reach.
If you’ve ever found yourself in that place, I want you to know that you are not alone.
Today reminded me that the hardest battles are not always fought around us. Often, they are fought within us. They are the silent conversations we have with God when no one else hears our prayers.
Abba, if there is something in me that needs to change, show me. Teach me. Correct me. But if I am walking faithfully, give me the courage to keep going even when I cannot yet see the outcome.
I have discovered that there is a holy difference between examining our hearts and condemning ourselves. God invites us to grow, but He never asks us to carry shame that He has not placed upon us.
Perhaps the real question isn’t simply, “To be or not to be?”
Perhaps the deeper question is:
Who will I choose to be while I wait on God? The answer is I will continue to be the person I have always been.
But what happens when you have troublr waiting on people?
I truly want to be able to wrap this devotional in a big red bow and say, “Amen” but today’s devotional is not going to end that way.
I have real decisions to make. The one thing I will not do is get ahead of God. My counseling journey has been one hardest journeys of my life and the most rewarding.
The road to becoming a licensed counselor feels like it’s ten million miles away. There has to be a better way
Abba, please show me the way to go. I will follow wherever You lead me…
