He will let us know in one way or another to either rest in Him and wait or He will give us other directions... Nice thread. There is another way which works really good for me. That is, to be thankful for all things good or bad. Yes, even the bad, for they provide us with the greatest lessons. So when a burden arises, I immediately thank the Lord for the opportunity to learn, and progress towards living the way the truth and the life. By being grateful for the burden, I find myself open for my lesson. In that openness I find what I need to do to deal with it. Surprisingly, most of the lessons requires me to not interfere, but accept the situation and be responsible for my thoughts and actions. In all things (thoughts and actions) I try to be thankful. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. - Philippians 4:11-13 Edited October 18, 2017 by Raven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This life we live now,we live as pilgrims traveling to our eternal home ,where are no more pain ,trials and worry and every day is bringing us one day closer .

You are truly a blessing. This is the 3rd post of yours I have read. There is joy that fills my heart whenever I read them. There is always something that leaps out at me to take away. One of your posts (I'm not telling which one) leaves my spirit singing for joy. I just thought I should share this with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my favorite little poem for years,there was a time I had it written on a piece of paper taped on my kitchen cupboard to remind myself that God is with me in all difficulties in life:) And He,s proven to be faithful!
