It can be difficult to know if you’re making the right decision when you don’t know what to do and don’t feel like you have clarity from God. Let’s explore the process of discernment and seek God’s direction in decision-making. Learn practical steps to seek God’s clarity, set your course, and submit your choices to God. Stay open to His leading and trust that even in uncertainty, God works all things for good. Find confidence, peace, and security in trusting God with your decisions.
It’s hard when you can’t see God working out a situation in your life, and sometimes, those seasons can cause us to question or doubt God while we wait.
Here are three ways to build your trust in God during times of uncertainty.
Remembering God’s Character
Reading the Stories in the Bible
Reciting the Truth
Let’s dig into how to trust God, even when it seems like He isn’t working.
We have three choices for where to turn our focus and our attention – out, in, or up. Our focus is limited to one thing, one direction, at a time, and depending on where our attention is, that is where our actions go as well. We can look out to the lives of others,
look in to our own desires, or we can look up to Jesus. The One who is steady, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
As we step into 2024, let’s dive deep into identity. We are exploring the challenging question, “Who am I?” and the journey of becoming the person God created us to be. We will discuss the pitfalls of defining yourself by titles, and how focusing on who you are becoming, rather than looking to the past, is the best way to answer the question, “Who am I?” Let’s make 2024 a year of becoming better together!
When it seems like the world is saying it’s “just sex” and that there is no sense in waiting until marriage, it can be hard to discern what to do as a Christian. Does the Bible really say to wait until marriage for sex? If so, how far is too far? What if I’ve already had sex but I’m not married yet?
As Christians, we are called to be generous, compassionate, and selfless. Because this is a call for all believers, sacrificing doesn’t just start when you sign the marriage license. It is something that must be cultivated in your life way before that day because marriage requires greater daily sacrifice than most things.
You are bound to fight in a marriage. Maybe it’ll be rare, or maybe it’ll be more frequent in different seasons of life, but it is inevitable that you will have disputes in a marriage, so you must learn to fight well. If you learn to fight well now, it will carry into your marriage.
If you find yourself struggling with anxiety and wondering if this is just part of life, I’ve been there, and friend, it doesn’t have to be. But you cannot have anxiety and peace simultaneously. We must equip ourselves to fight for peace.
Sometimes God’s plans for us take us by surprise and challenge our carefully laid out plans. In moments of uncertainty, it can be tempting to negotiate or question what God is leading us to do. But faith requires obedience, even when the outcome seems uncertain. Trusting in God’s provision and guidance, even when it defies logic, opens the door to the miraculous and allows us to play a part in something greater than ourselves. So, take that leap of faith, even if it seems impossible. God often uses improbabilities to make impossibilities realities.
There is the loneliness of not being around people, but also the loneliness of being unknown. When you’re around people and they know your name, and you have casual conversation, but they don’t really know you. They don’t know who you are, how you think, what you may be feeling, or how your life has been up to this point. The loneliness of being unknown, surrounded by people yet a stranger to them all. Personally, I found this loneliness to be the most isolating of all.
