“God longs to listen to our sad songs. He wants to hear our hearts cry out to him, even when we don’t understand his plan or are missing the lessons he wants to teach us. He loves to listen to our needs, and it’s all right to tell him, Yes, Lord, I’m overwhelmed. Help me, Jesus, please. Do you even remember me? Because all these situations I’m encountering are killing me. I need you, Jesus. When we arrive at this point, we’re in a good place.”

“Our focus is often on the wait; God’s focus is on the work. Through the process of the wait, we have the privilege of relying on him by choosing to read and believe his Word. Poised at opportunity’s edge, we learn to listen to his direction by trusting that our Creator desires the best for us. Standing still, listening to his voice, and having our hearts open to his Word—these waiting activities provide and build strength. Each day we must take time to read and think through God’s promises. We need to talk to him in prayer. We need to spend time listening to what the Holy Spirit would whisper to our hearts.”
