Thank you so much for this post. I have been constantly overthinking what I think is a sign God has given me to the point where I am exhausted and that isn't what he wants. This article really helped me figure out exactly what to follow.
Thank you, Chris! What a well written, spot-on piece. It is a helpful "back-to-the-basics" reminder for any level of believer. The Lord used a few key sentences to move me out of the ditch I was slugging through and steer me back to the main road. 😁 Excellent!
This was a great read, and goes along perfectly with what ive experienced myself the past year or two. So often, we forget that God is a relational being and He truly desires a personal relationship with us. We do lipservice to that, but we live experientially like its untrue. But God does, infact, speak to His children
This was enjighten, struggling with these things right now been over a decade trying to see God's will is and what path he wants me to take and overthink all the time what his will is in the situation and ruminate on this throughout the day. I feel I was given permission to walk away from a situation however it the same situation I was praying for miracles for so he could be glorified and then I worry is this just my flesh because I am so overwhelmed with the situation and feel I can't handle it anymore and if I can't handle it, am I given up on that one lost sheep am I even truly saved if I can't get someone that confess Christ however speaks things God's despise of their error. They quote his words about others that do what they do, they seem not saved to me and I worry I am condemning and judging some God loved and died for and worry if I walk out I am saying that person isn't worthy of the kingdom. Then I hear a quote that said something about If God couldn't fix them what makes you think you can. And, I go back to my thoughts of leaving God I felt gave me permission than I remember I prayed for a miracle and if maybe I am not being still before God. This article reminds me of Bible verses that reminds us to not try to see the big picture but live each day off our daily bread. Pray the Lord may give me the peace I need for this day as well as every day as we wait for his arrival.
I'm sorry, Susan. Those seasons can be incredibly discouraging. I've learned that closed doors don't always mean God has forgotten us. Sometimes He's doing work in us before He does work around us. I'm praying that He opens the right door at the right time.
On point. Rings very true. We want control and certainty. He wants our trust + faith. One illuminated step at a time.
If you want to hear the word of God, read the Bible.
If you want to hear God speak out loud, read the scripture out loud.
Amen brother very well articulation on the way to fallow His Will.
This is excellent! I think this will be helpful for so many!

What if you faced closed doors for years and none opening?
