Wait With Purpose...

My inner self is also exceedingly disturbed and troubled. But You, O Lord, how long until you return and speak peace to me? Return to my relief, O Lord, deliver my life; save me for the sake of Your steadfast love and mercy..
Psalm 6:3-4

Avoid getting negative when you look at your circumstances.. Actively wait on God to find you strength to walk in the fruit of the Spirit.. Wait with purpose, silently listening for Him to speak, eagerly watching for Him to act.. Tell Him, "Lord, I receive strength to be Your ambassador and witness.. Your Word tells me to love people who mistreat me.. Though it is hard to do in the natural, I receive strength from You to be loving today."

When someone hurts you it is human nature to WANT to hurt them back.. This is what we all want to do when something happens and someone hurts us.. Pray for strength to stay strong and be humbled before you speak.. It is such a hard thing to do.. Silence has helped my soul.. Praying everyday for a peace and strength that no one can give me but the Lord for my situation and my life in general.. I hope that everyone has a wonderful day today.. My youngens are off to Destin for some exciting fun in the sand!! Im going to miss you Abbey and Brandon!!

Wow Amy! your words are very inspring...although it may feel like a very uninspiring time in life...take heart that others can use your words as inspiration. Your words show courage and strength that I feel are probably very helpful to many people. Thank you for sharing no matter how hard it may be.

There may be people or other strongholds in your life keeping you down.. I know I do.. And within time they can be broken.. Thanks for your comment and I hope that you have a fabulous day today..
