please pray sisters
Were sisters now so we have to share stuff right? Well i'm not doing well in my spiritual life. i'm so confused with God. i guess because what i'm praying He just keeps answering "Wait" and i'm not good at waiting. And i keep asking him why but its just not being answered. i know he doesn't always answer right away. What am i doing wrong that i'm not hearing from him? There are so many things i want or i wish i could do something about. Like i'm not good at anything. I don't have a special talent that i'm good at. And i find something i like but God closes those doors so i'm left with nothing. And i know i'm beautiful in God's eyes but sometimes i look at myself and i see a not so pretty person. But that is just the devil shooting me with lies and i know that but the thoughts wont go away. As my sisters i ask you to pray for me in these areas. I'm just having a hard time with it right now. Luv ya'll!

Emily-
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you!!!! I think you are under spiritual attack because the enemy knows you are dangerous. I think also that God allows times of darkness so that we can learn to trust Him more completely and not have to rely on spiritual highs or events to cause us to seek Him. Don't give up!
Just so you know, when I look at you, I see a BEAUTIFUL young woman with a tender, sincere heart, a talent for friendship, for organizing (believe me, that is a TALENT!) and who knows what else! (God does!) I'm going to be looking up some "cling to them" verses for you to hang on to as well--always replace the lies with TRUTH from God.
Just please believe me that spiritually dark times don't necessarily mean you are doing something wrong. Search your heart to weed out anything that could be blocking you, but if your conscience is clean, then keep seeking Him.
I know in my life sometimes a series of "wait" or "no" answers (or even silence!) has been God directing me to just ask for HIM before anything else.
I love you girl! Hang in there and know that I am praying for you!!!!!
Emily,
ReplyDeleteyou are an incredible girl, and you are beautiful inside and out!!! you have a talent for seeing people and knowing what they need, and you're not afraid to help people!!!! that's something i have to try really hard to do, and it's a more natural thing for you. God gave you that as a talent!!! You are a beautiful girl too, and i know for a long time i was having trouble thinking i was pretty on the outside. I know you hate waiting, but i think there was just one day in like march that i looked in the mirrior and saw a beautiful girl. and you are sooooo beautiful!!!!!! inside and out!!!!
sometimes i will freak out when i'm not hearing from god, and i end up like a kid in a dark room screaming and looking for a light switch. eventually i just sit down and cry, no lie. so i know how you feel. don't give up on god, because he will never give up on you!!! i really miss our unity group, and sometimes i miss it so much i will just think it's no use to do my quiet time or anything, because naturally i'm not a super determined person.
But i think God gave you more stick-to-it-ness than most people, and he knows you can stand any test WITH him. always remember that nothing satan tests you with ( because he's always testing someone) is outside of God's permission, and God won't allow satan to give you a problem too big to run to God with.
I will pray for you, and know that i love you and think the world of you!!!!
"Our faith doesn't grow most when we see miracles, but when we see nothing and still choose to believe that God keeps his promises. That is true faith."

If you feel like God is far away, remember that the holy spirit is IN you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEmily i am praying for you. like hallie said, just remeber that satan can only test u in gods permission and god wont let something to big to handle come at u. u are beautiful inside and out and no matter if u see it or not u are a very talented girl, u have gifts i dont, and i have giftes u dont, thats just how the body fits together. just kno that i am always a phone call away if u ever need to tok. i love u girl and im praying.
