Questions and Lessons On Contentment
I pray to God to give me words. I pray to feel His presence
moment by moment. But I think those prayers have gone largely unanswered. Weeks
have turned into months, but the same prayers continue.
Is it a lack of faith? I hope not. Today, at this moment, I
don’t think so. I think God has something much deeper in store.
Has he been calling me to further dependence on His Word,
His promises? Is His Word enough for me? Are His promises enough to pull me
through? Even if I do not feel His presence, do I believe He is still there?
Amongst my perceived silence on His part, do I believe He is still listening?
I am learning, but the process is not lightening-quick, at
least not for me. I am learning to cling, to hold steadfast, to move forward
unswervingly – even in the midst of non-visible or audible affirmation. I am
learning that His Word has to be enough, that His promises are true, in all
circumstances.
I am learning that I have much to learn.
