I will lead them in paths they have not known.
I will make darkness light before them,
And crooked places straight.
These things I will do for them,
And not forsake them.
-Isaiah 42:16-
It’s been a few months since I’ve had time to sit down and write. I ran into someone in a restaurant who reads my blog a few nights ago and she gave me encouragement by telling me how much she enjoys it. So I thought, well it has been a right good while, so here I am catching up and sharing some thoughts that have been on my mind for quite some time.
Questions like...
What is my purpose in this life?
Am I doing what I’m supposed to be doing right now?
Am I doing all I can do to serve God right now and for my remaining years?
Am I helping others enough?
Did I do the right thing by making this decision or commitment?
Should I have done that?
Why didn’t I speak Truth in love at that perfect moment?
Am I forgiving enough?
Will I ever get to get back to using the gifts and talents God has given me?
Am I a good enough leader and father?
Am I visiting my parents enough while they’re still in this life?
What am I to do with the time I have left?
God, why am I angry so often?
God, am I truly yours?
Why am I having such a dry spell getting back into your Word?
God, are you hearing my prayers?
This time of year (especially), with the days being shorter and darker we tend to fall into a period of depression as well, making it easier to get on a wrong path.
Tonight I’m praying for answers to my many questions and I want to trust my Heavenly Father to lead me on the paths unfamiliar to me.
I hope you will pray for God to lead you as well by giving your whole life to Jesus Christ and letting His will be done in your life for His glory.
Don’t forget to get outside and enjoy the things the Lord has made, even if it’s only in your own backyard.
In Christ,
