Be determined to act immediately in faith in what God says to you when He speaks, and never reconsider or change your initial decisions.

The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayer-less religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.- Samuel Chadwick
Today, let’s be careful not to get stuck in our “whys.” Let’s not allow them to leave us blind to His presence, blind to His goodness, blind to His power, blind to the hope we have in Him.
Remember, we have today. Even with all the ups and downs and unexpected situations, it’s a gift. Such a precious gift. Connecting our faith to whether or not God answers our prayers when and how we want is shaky ground. We must attach our hope and our affection firmly to who God is... not to what we want Him to do. Only then will we have hearts that are settled and secure?
Healing can’t be rushed. It takes both time and honesty. We need to feel what we feel. We need to think through what we need to think through. We need to get it all out and sort it all out.
