Waiting on God When You're Hurting

 Waiting on God When You're Hurting

I've been hurting for a long time. I've been through a lot of pain and loss. I've felt like God has abandoned me.

But I know that's not true. God is still with me. He's still loving me. He's still working in my life.

I'm just having a hard time waiting on Him. I want things to be better now. I want the pain to go away. I want to feel like I'm not alone.

But I know that God has a plan for my life. And I know that His timing is perfect.

So I'm trying to be patient. I'm trying to trust God. I'm trying to believe that He's good, even when I don't feel like it.

I know that waiting on God is hard. But it's also a time of growth. It's a time to learn to trust God more. It's a time to learn to rely on Him more.

So if you're hurting, and you're waiting on God, I want you to know that you're not alone. I'm right there with you.

And I want you to know that God is good. He's faithful. He's loving. And He's never going to leave you or forsake you.

So keep waiting on Him. Keep trusting Him. Keep believing in Him.

He's got a plan for your life. And He's going to work everything out for your good.

Here are some verses from the Bible that have helped me when I'm waiting on God:

  • Psalm 37:7: "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over those who prosper in their way, over those who carry out evil devices."
  • Isaiah 40:31: "But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."
  • Lamentations 3:25-26: "The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord."

I hope these verses encourage you as you're waiting on God. Remember, He's good. He's faithful. He's loving. And He's never going to leave you or forsake you.

Here are some practical tips for waiting on God:

  • Pray. Prayer is the most important thing you can do when you're waiting on God. Talk to Him about your pain, your fears, and your hopes.
  • Read the Bible. The Bible is full of stories of people who waited on God, and it can give you hope and encouragement.
  • Spend time in nature. Being in nature can help you to connect with God and to find peace and tranquility.
  • Surround yourself with supportive people. Having people who love and support you can make a big difference when you're going through a difficult time.

My Brother

If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.  And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother. 1 John 4:20-21 My brother had a personal brand for a while. It was "Dead Existence" Alive, but not really living.  It's been 5-months since 19 Jul 23 when my mother called and at first I thought she was just talking fast as she does sometimes and thought it was a fun conversation at first but I remember the moment in the conversation of Mike and "He died."   The girls and were supposed to go to Orlando--to Universal for a few days or Christian concerts at the park.  I originally was going to reach out to my brother, Mike, and ask him if he wanted to hang out with his brother and 2-Nieces.  My youngest misses him the most.  It was going to be a little surprise because we hadn't talked in over a year or so.  I couldn

Relying on God In Your Battles

Even in our freedom gained through true salvation, maintaining faith that God's plan is still in effect in the face of extreme adversity is difficult.  We are on the training range and the battlefield simultaneiously.   Ephesians 6:13 does not say put on part of the armour of God, but the whole armour of God.  I may still piecemeal my armour but I am learning that God hast to be at the center or actions become mine, not his.   It is a unique perspective to think that when we are on the offense we need to be in a position of surrender. Selfish revenge is not what God had is mind when he said Vengeance is mine. Romans 12:19 -21: Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave iti to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Redemption

  The Meaning of Redemption The word "redemption" means to be bought back or set free. In this passage, Peter is saying that we have been redeemed from our empty way of life by the blood of Christ. What does that mean? It means that our sins have been forgiven, and we are no longer slaves to sin. We are free to live a new life in Christ. The Power of Redemption The redemption that Christ offers is not just a theoretical concept. It is a real and powerful force that can transform our lives. When we accept Christ's redemption, we are given a new identity. We are no longer defined by our past mistakes, but by the love of Christ. We are also given a new purpose. We are called to live a life of love, joy, and peace. We are called to make a difference in the world. The Hope of Redemption If you're hurting, I want you to know that there is hope. Your life is not empty or meaningless. You have been redeemed by the blood of Christ. You can start living a new life today. You ca
