When You Don't Know

There are times in our lives that God requires us to walk through a season where we don't know where God is taking us but He wants us to trust Him.  I have found in those times that God will give us enough light for each step we take.

I have been there many times and the fact that I am here and typing this post proves that God's grace is sufficient :

For the time that I walked through a cancer diagnosis,  praying with each step for what doctors to go to, who I needed to see for a second opinion, seeing a plastic surgeon,  fighting with the insurance companies, more and more prayer with church family, family, and then taking my children and moving in with my brother in another city for the time of my surgery and recovery. God was with me with each step.

For the time my marriage crumbled.  Dealing with an unfaithful spouse but still fighting for our marriage while my heart was broken into,  during this time my father-in-law died of a heart attack,  moving my boys and myself back to my hometown, starting life over with my boys as a single mom.  Many years of seeking God, growing closer to Him through studying His Word,  God was with me  through every part of mourning the loss of my marriage and loneliness and helping me parent my two boys.

There are many other moments and there are many moments for you.  I also know that there are many, many more who have gone through worse things than I have ever or will ever go through.

Here's the thing,  when we don't know, God knows.  Nothing ever takes Him by surprise.  When we recognize a need,  He knew that need before we did and He already had our deliverance planned.

We we don't know the future,  God knows.  We can rest in that.  He tells us not to be discouraged or fear. Why? Because He is right there beside us, He is already in our tomorrows.  He already has our needs met.

Life is hard, and scary.  It is also hard to not fear or be discouraged. Trust me, I have struggled with those emotions even though I knew God was with me. God understands.

God has a plan for your life and a plan and a day for your deliverance.  Hold on, because God will bring you out and bring healing and restoration to your life!  I know this by experience.

I will also tell you that I had no plan of writing this. I was sitting here watching t.v. and before I knew it, God was leading me to write this.  He cares. He hears your cries. He listens to your prayers. He answers. He loves you.

Our times are in God's hands. Ps. 31:15 (NASB)


In a single moment, God can change your life! He can instantly turn things around.

God's strong name is our help, the same God who made heaven and earth. Ps. 124:8
