This is our B moment. Our moment to be still…to be fed by the Word of God…to be grateful.
Scripture reference: Psalms 32:8 (NIV)
Today I am asking myself the question, “Am I allowing myself to be led by God?”
I had this thought as I was talking to a girlfriend recently. Not long ago, a new door opened in her life. I congratulated her, and said to her – “Girl, you sure do know how to manifest things!”
When I think of manifesting a prayer, I think of taking very direct actions. I will rationalize that I just need to speak my desires into existence, or pray them into existence. I can convince myself that these actions alone will cause my prayers to be answered.
However, my girlfriend’s response was quite to the contrary. “I think the reason for my open door is more about my willingness and my obedience to be led by God. It was trusting my journey and going along for the ride even when there were twists and turns that offered no explanation in the moment.”
She ultimately believes that her answered prayers are the result of her hanging in there through it all.
When I turn to the Scriptures, I think about Joseph whom I recently talked about being unjustly imprisoned for twelve years. I’m sure he had to surrender to God and to trust that God was still leading him during this difficult period.
The Words that I will use to inspire me are, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” Psalms 32:8 (NIV)
Tomorrow, let’s talk about how God can salvage anything. Please share this reflection, because others desire to be inspired.
Today, ask yourself, “Are you allowing yourself to be led by God?”
Right before this I listened to yesterday’s B Moments “He Has Chosen You.” After listening, my comment to you was to “trust the process.” And now look at God here! As I read today’s B Moments “Are You Allowing Yourself to Be Led”, I see how God confirms, though your girlfriend, my newly adopted prayer and mantra, “trust the process.”
The highs and lows are all part of the process, and sometimes no matter how “low” it gets, I have to loudly pray and declare to myself and the universe that I will “trust (His) process.” Never always easy, but always best! xoxo
