“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

 “With God life is an endless hope.  Without God life is a hopeless end”.  Bill Bright

Bring your deepest hopes before God trusting that His answers come in His perfect time and way.

Engage in conversation with God. Ask him how he feels about you. Come before him with anything that is weighing you down and lay your burdens at his feet. Rest in the peace that comes from his presence. (Greg Denison)

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve been in closets, on my knees  by my bed, or in bed praying.  I believe in prayer, but my problem is I have a hard time leaving my requests with Jesus. I want immediate answers from Him.   I have had to wait years for some of my answers. And I am still waiting on some to be answered.  I have had to learn patience and trust in believing that His timing is perfect and that He will fulfill His promises in ways beyond my imagination.  Yes, I have had hardships in my walk with Jesus. It still hurts if I allow myself to return to that time of lifetime.  I have to throw them in my imaginary black-trash bags.  I want to live in the moment, because the moment is all have to live in.  Trust, pray, and believe even though sometimes my faith seems miles away.  There are three voices I hear;  Mine,  satan, and God’s.  I have to be careful with the one I heed. Maybe that is one of the reasons I spend so much time in the closet, and on my knees praying for His guidance and direction to stay in the moment with Him.
