Seasons of Uncertainty
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” // Philippians 4:6-7 (NJKV)
Following Jesus is hard. We triumph… we overcome… we fall… we doubt… and through it all, we’re asking Him to shape our lives into something that glorifies Him. Currently, this is the season I’m in. Jesus is breaking me and molding me. I find myself constantly hearing a soft voice… “Son, trust me. I’ve got this.” Sounds simple, right? I wish. Jesus is once again prying my fingers off of my own life. Even in this season of uncertainty, He’s asking me to LIVE in a place of uncertainty and anchor myself in who He is rather than try and figure out everything on my own. I wish I could say it’s easy. I’ve realized how feeble I am as a human.
I don’t have it all together. My human nature wants everything as soon as possible. But you see, God handles everything completely opposite. The world tells me to get ahead and start a life that I want. Jesus simply beckons me to follow Him. I’ve learned that it’s not always comfortable, I don’t always know where I’m going, but I DO know who walks beside me. “If you find yourself worrying too much, you’re not praying enough.” // I read this quote today and it greatly convicted me. Oh how we wish we had all the answers. Child, you don’t! I don’t! The only one who does is Jesus!
I’ve chosen to embrace the uncertainty. I’ve chosen to pray more and worry less. Even in the unknown, your heart can be at peace through prayer! The One who defeated death and calmed the sea holds your life in His hands. In a season such as this, one thing always remains certain. Jesus will not forsake His children. Allow the uncertainty to draw you closer to Him.
