Thank you for sharing – and praying – Sarah. 😉 I will definitely be praying for you too. I’m with you… I wish complaining and confusion didn’t seem to come so easily at times. Hopefully the Lord will reveal more of Himself to us both and remind us that no matter what… His counsel will stand. (Psalm 33:11)

I’ve been asking God to open my eyes to see others the way He sees them; my ears to hear His voice; and my heart that I would love as He loved. I’m also asking for a willing spirit to follow where He leads.
I have quickly learned not to ask for something unless I am entirely sure that’s what I truly desire, because He doesn’t even give me a chance to change my mind! Just starts breaking down the walls and changing my heart. It’s really painful, sometimes. I often want to shout at Him and demand a respite. But, I know that His work in my life and heart is for the best, so I’m trying to suffer through with the least amount of complaining possible. 🙂
I will be praying for you.

Thank you so much for your kind offer to pray for me too. Anything in particular? Well, just that He would open my eyes, my ears, and my heart more to better understand and follow His leading in my life right now. And that I would “Be anxious for nothing” and feel less swallowed up in moments of stress. 😉 Thank you for your sweet heart and friendship, Sarah. Is there anything in particular I can pray for you?

I’m trying to make it a habit to pray for the wonderful authors whose books I love. I know what a struggle it is sometimes to get the words to express what you’re thinking and how hard it is when you’re wondering/doubting whether or not what you’ve written is worthwhile or pleasing to God. And they have even more struggles than I know about, what with new books come out, having to meet deadlines, and doing that in the midst of taking care of their families and having lives outside of their writing. I can’t begin to imagine.
Is there anything in particular I can pray for you?
I hope you have a great week!
~Sarah
