I have been busy praying, waiting patiently for some answers. It's so hard to know which is the right direction sometimes. I pray for God's guidance and leading but time and time again, I wait. and wait...AND WAIT. I thought I was a decently patient person but I'm wearing down.
It's hard to know if I'm trying to walk into a shut door or walking timidly into an opened door. Is this a no or a go? Megan Breedlove, author of Manna For Moms articulated my feelings in her words this way...
"Sometimes, however, we deceive ourselves as to whether a door is open or closed. We approach it, turn the knob, and find that it opens easily. We exclaimed, "Aha! An open door!" and run on through, despite the fact that the Bible tells us we should have never approached that door in the first place.
Or we tug on a doorknob, but the door won't budge. So we pull a little harder. Still nothing. We kick the door with no result. Next, we come at it with a hammer, and when that doesn't work, we use a battering ram. As soon as we breach the barrier, we say, "See? The door was open!"
I have been praying for clarity. I desire an answer that is certain. That I can say with confidence that this is God's leading in my life.
I desperately want that feeling.
Certainty...without the door causing too much pain.
