Job 6:8 (NIV)

“Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for,

Do you ever have those moments where you know exactly what you’d like to be doing, but you just do not know how or where to begin? Are you bursting with ideas, hopes and plans without a “starting block” to begin at? Many of us find ourselves in these moments quite often…maybe even daily if you have a project-oriented job/ministry. Our creativity and joy to make things amazing for God’s glory seems to be at a loss; what is a girl to do?

Currently, I have been making Pinterest boards, lists and mini-game plans to get my new life adventure sorted out. I have a general timeline of how I think I should get things in motion…it’s obviously dependent upon God’s ultimate timeline, but I at least have an idea of where He is leading.

What things do you do to get your thoughts in order? Do you set aside a day to pray and fast? Do you make lists and check them twice? Do you have an accountability partner that reminds you to stay the course that you feel God has placed you on? You (and I) need to make some kind of effort to keep our lives and this journey moving according to the vision God has given us for this season of our charmed life with God.

This week as we continue “Pray May” take time to pray through the dreams and ideas that you have and what God’s actual plan for your life. You may have to surrender a few things and tell God that He can take them away if it’s not His will…are you ready for that? If not, make sure to pray for a yielded, obedient heart and a steadfast spirit that truly trusts that God’s plan is better than ours.

Psalm 16:8 (NIV)

I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
