There’s no one like You

Dear God,
Thank You.
(via love-your-bible)
When I’m broken in the silence
I can hear You whispering
You’re not alone here in these trials
I would hold you faithfully
You are my help forever
I will not fear
God You are with me
I know You’re near
You’ll never leave me
I will trust in You alone
And when my heart and strength
have failed me
My God, You won’t
Your name is mighty
I will trust in You alone
(You alone by Lauren Daigle )
Jesus knew okay. He knew you would mess up that time. He knew you would fail that time. He knew you would make a mistake that time. He knew you’d let that person down that time. He knew you’d stray from Him that time. He knew you’d disobey Him that time. He knew you’d sin against Him that time. And guess what. He still died for you. He knew on that cross every mistake you were ever going to make and He still died for you anyway. Is that not proof enough that in times of weakness we should run TO Him, not away. He died so that you could come to Him in everything. Don’t waste that.

Pray. Study. Serve the Lord at church. Read his word. Get busy working for God. When you’re busy working, you don’t have time to feel sorry for yourself because you have no one. Strive to improve yourself in education, career, finances and in your walk with God. If you want a Godly man/woman, then you must become a Godly man/woman. Don’t waste your time on relationships that aren’t going anywhere.
Recognize that God is in control, even when it seems He has forgotten you. I love the words to the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk:Look around at the nations; look and be amazed! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn’t believe even if someone told you about it” (Habakkuk 1:5, NLT).Often when it seems nothing is happening is when everything is happening behind the scenes. You just can’t see it.
Renew your faith in God’s quiet, steady providence. Every major figure in the Bible was forced to wait long periods of time before God brought them to a place of success.Abraham waited twenty-five years before his wife Sarah gave birth to their first child.Joseph slogged through thirteen years of betrayal, false imprisonment, and abandonment before assuming the leadership of Egypt.Moses spent forty years tending sheep before God called him as a deliverer of His people.David spent fourteen years before the throne of Israel would be his.And in Jesus’s own ministry, he often told his disciples “My hour has not yet come.”Waiting is not incidental to faith. Waiting is the DNA of faith.
