Keep Searching…

Lord, I thank you for hearing and listening when we talk!

1 Peter 3:12 NLT “The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against all who do evil.”

Ok, but what about the prayers you are praying for but still not receiving any answers to, no direction, not a word, nor a clue, dead silence! God, are you still there?

Of course He is, his word tells us he will never leave us!

Joshua 1:9 ESV “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Still, there’s the silence! Have you checked yourself? Is there sin you need to ask forgiveness for? Ask, if there’s sin you are unaware of! Is there a wrong you need to make right? Is there a wrong you need to forgive?

Is the radio frequency full of static? Ask, for peace and quiet of mind and spirit! Has there been a big change in your world and possibly the balance hasn’t quite settled. There has been no change for so long that the monotony has become torture! Possibly a loss and the grief just won’t seem to lift.

I have been going through all of the above and it has robbed me of something I love and that’s writing in Sunshine. I have been going through much and I have been praying for answers, direction, and inspiration. Why haven’t I felt like writing, why haven’t I heard from you Lord with my daily spiritual direction…why, why, why?

I have been trying to reinvent the wheel! A quiet, alone place where I can sit and ponder! I tried this spot and that room and discovered I needed to come back to my original spot, the one that feels right, the one that might have high traffic from time to time but it’s my routine.

Did the Star-Spangled Banner go off this morning? No! Was there a loud booming voice telling me to sit in the front room in my spot on the couch? No! But this morning as I was making my coffee I found myself drawn to the living room…no, then I’d have to go upstairs and haul all my bibles and devotions, highlighters and pens down the stairs, yet the front room kept beckoning. Fine!

As I sat and read in my usual spot, the morning felt right, normal! After the reading came to the same prayer for Sunshine that I have prayed for almost two years, that I receive from the Lord his inspiration to share his word and love…a few sips of coffee later a thought forms, an idea comes to mind, a ponder here another thought there and here we are.

Do I have prophetic wisdom to share! No! What I do know is, if there is something you are praying about, don’t cease, don’t let your mind overrule your spirit. Get into God’s word, Get into God! Go back to the basics. Sometimes it’s so elementary we miss it!

The Lord is always with us and when we stop wrestling and struggling with issues and questions; relax, slow down and trust. The answers appear as gentle as a butterfly floating by.

Be blessed today and thank you for joining me. 🥰
