Psalm 77:1 - 3

"I cried out to God with my voice -- To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; My soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God, and was troubled. I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed." Psalm 77: 1 - 3

Day 34 - God's shaking things up a bit!


I was up for hours last night. There have been some challenging issues at my workplace lately, making it more and more difficult to stay on.
At first, I prayed that God would make it all better at work, smooth out the rough edges and help me to be content....
But it dawned on my at 2:30 a.m. when I was on my knees praying..."Maybe God is shaking it up a bit, making it uncomfortable for me to work at my present employment...because He's guiding me to something else?"
The moment that realization hit me, I felt peace. I can't explain it. All of the emotional struggles with working full-time, the workplace challenges that keep cropping up and making it insanely difficult to continue on...it's making total sense.
I have been praying now for 34 days that God would take over and guide me and my family towards His will for our lives...so perhaps it's God's way of saying, "Look for something else"?
This morning, I had to take a vacation day just to calm down and re-evaluate my situation. I still had the nanny come by for the toddler, however, so I could truly have a peaceful day with prayer to my God...
(sigh).
Dear Lord,
Please guide me and my family down the path that You have chosen for us. I am trusting in You...
