I sat in bed on Saturday morning feeling discouraged. A major detail I thought was taken care of had just fallen through. And I was at 0% support raised. My desperate prayers have sounds like, "Ok, God. If you want me do this, then you have a lot of work to do to make this happen." There are some days where I can remind myself that God is good. He is faithful. And that simple reminder will help me let go of the fear I am holding on to. There are other days, like Saturday, where I have to say it over and over and hope that the more I say it, the more I will believe it.
I pulled up my devotional that day and read, "Rest in the comfort of My presence, remembering that nothing is impossible with Me. Pry your mind away from your problems so you can focus your attention on Me. Recall that I am able to do immeasurably more than all you ask or imagine."
By the end of that weeekend, I was close to having 10% of my support raised as well as finding out those details that fell through were taken care of once again, working out even better than before.
Thankfully, God's goodness isnt dependent on my ability to believe it!
I continue to repeat the words to my favorite song at the moment:
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now
Hey, where's a picture of my beautiful cousin? So glad to read your blog and I find it interesting that your letter has been sitting on our kitchen counter for a long time now, but this weekend we read your letter, talked about your support and joined what hopefully is now more than 10% of your support raised. Praying with you
