Brothers, Sisters, I need your prayer immensely. I need my faith strengthened. After I resigned hastily from my previous job , it seems that I ruined my career. I am not sure if it is right to regret why I resigned impulsively due to personal reason. They say everything happens for a reason..I don't know what is God's plan for me. Is he planning for a beautiful future? I asked for guidance, I waited but when I expect the answer and thought I am almost there, something just went vague..
Before we take a decision about everything in our life we have to ask God first to advice us. He will find a way to bring His message to us. We have to wait until He answers back (and we have to be sure that He answered). We don't do a move unless He tells us to do so. All that obviously for serious reasons. We don't do our move hoping that that is God's will. It may be not. What makes us think it is? In the Book of Acts Paul and Silas went to Macedonia because the Spirit directed them towards there. If they went somewhere else they would have preached the gospel in vain. Sometimes a thing that seems to us to be the best thing to do, is not actually. When Lot chose the place near Sodome and Gomorrah because there was a lot of grass and water for his sheep, he couldn't have known that God was going to destroy those places in the future. At the time it seemed the best move, but it wasn't. We see the present but God sees the future.
Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, COUNSELLOR,The mighty God,The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
And now what? What do I do if I have done a mistake? Then I must know that God can find a way to fix it. But we have to wait and trust in the Lord (and have our ears open). He will eventually lead us to light again.
Isaiah 58:12 "And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in."
So what we do now is:
Isaiah 62:7 "And GIVE HIM NO REST, TILL HE ... establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.(or anything else)"
Stay strong in the Lord. He will do the best for you.
Isaiah 49:15-16 "Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee"
Imagine how amazing and so comforting it is for me to receive replies from you and Wesley. Next to this, I shall proceed to Wesley's.
Giannis, your name is uncommon for me so I did myself a favor of googling it up and learned it is a boy's name.
I could not thank you enough for reaching out and showing me, how it is so important and beautiful to have a brother , or a sister who is just a heartbeat away, to show love to each other as fellow believers. Distance is not a hindrance for us helping each other in our walk of truth to the One Great God.
I spend time in each verses that you've mentioned. Thank you my dear brother. These, not only open my my mind and heart but also my soul. Before these, I just felt so trapped in a situation , so stressed out, so unfree, regretful, and all negative feelings that I could not explain. . so fed up and so betrayed. . but when I read those verses carefully and ponder upon it, there was a switch happening. My heavy heart just lighten up. The joyful heart is now back to gear again. Thank you for letting me see the truth. I know I just have to listen to the Holy Spirit's guidance and listen to what The Father says and trust in him. He has a beautiful plan for me.
I should put on the whole Armor of God: His words.
I am praying to Father God that He will always give you extraordinary strength to continue with that zeal to help a sister or brother in Christ who needs uplifting. May Our Father God bless you abundantly in Jesus Mighty Name Amen.
I did the exact same thing. Since I made that decision, and like you, life has been a disaster. I thought too, that the right decision was made and yes I do regret it. I thought surely this is God's will. It doesn't look that way. It looks like a monstrous mistake! I thought this was setting me up for a much better situation. It has not...yet! God is still God. His promises are still true. His light still shines. Yes my faith has skipped a beat. Yes I'm in a desperate situation. Yes, the Lord is still in charge! I tell the Lord I'm not Job!! The Lord knows our future. We do not. Even though my ship sank, my life boat had a hole in it, and this board I'm hanging on to isn't as buoyant as I would like, God sent it. I'm still His. His protection, His grace still remains. Thy will be done. Your going to be alright. I am too. I thought I was the only one that was in this mess. Let's pray for each other. After all, where two or more are gathered in my name....!
Thank you for having that heart of a wonderful brother to reply to my sad plea about the current situation I am experiencing.
You might be surprised, I got three first names. I just don't know why my parents should necessarily give me the longest first name ever. I signed in that is why it shows the Marimay when I registered in King James Bible.
We have almost exactly the same situation basing on your story too.. after I resigned from the previous, I expected that one thing,.. yet did not turn out the way I expected ..It seems that I could no longer trust any offer after what happened. Has that outrageous step done a negative impact? ..or was that really outrageous? Because sometimes judgement should not be based only in things seen. Might be that God is preparing us for something much much better.. because that road of career before was just so worldly..
Your response comes as a heartwarming cure for me. This gives me the feeling of being not alone from the time I started reading through the end of your message, I said to myself : it is not the end , because our prayer is ongoing, we are gathered in the God's name ! Jesus is the way the truth and the life. He is the only way to the Father! Yes let us pray for each other , I already began with mine here...
Your words gave me strength in such a way that I could feel a joint force to shift us back to the victorious route - but in fact yes we are on our favored way... we are highly favored ! we should not worry Wesley, we just keep on praying more strongly, more focused to Jesus.
I feel so stressed out and discouraged.
