A Prayer for Leaning into God's Equipping
By Heidi Vegh "Walk by faith, not by sight." - 2 Corinthians 5:7 It is always disheartening to feel as though I have reached a significant point in my journey only to ask, "Now what, Lord?" God has put a desire in my heart to write for Him which I cannot calm. I wrestle and fight, clawing for direction or insight. God tells me to listen, watch, do the next thing, and wait. He reminds me not to worry about the future, but to wait on Him. Obediently, I try my best to research, learn, write, pursue, listen, follow …and wait. I choose to trust Who is leading me, even when it feels like walking with blinders on, and I can't see the results of my efforts. God gave me the desire, but it is up to me to put the work in. A work He promised to equip me for! The road can be long and precarious, and often we don't know the destination …but God does. He will equip us when we don't feel capable or worthy of His calling on our lives. Our job is to do the work He has assigned us and wait for Him to clear the way. I am learning to take each day as it comes, trusting Him to lead and guide my steps. I plant my roots in His ways and His truth. I am overwhelmed with all the roads I could veer off onto, but He quietly reassures me He will guide me. I feel dwarfed among thousands of Christian writers, but He gently tells me He will help my voice reach who it is intended for. It may not be the masses; it may be one. It may be tomorrow; it may be years down the road. We read in Philippians 2:13 |
