Be Still...

So it has been a while since my last post about patience. Well what I have learned the past two months is that learning patience is frustrating. I guess that is the point though. My life has also been extremely busy the past two months as well, which I think adds to my impatience. I have reached the half way point in the semester and work always keeps me busy. Between those two things I haven't really had a lot of time to set aside for God, which I really hate.

Even though I have been so busy, I still have things that are laying very heavy on my heart. Every time I pray about my worries in life I just seem to get more frustrated when God replies with "just be patient." AHHHHH!!! I get that I have to be patient, but I am not getting answers to my questions. That is the frustrating part of this lesson.

Patience is about learning to trust God when the answers don't come quickly. If only stating that made it easier, but it doesn't. Not getting the answers I seek is hard, but it also means that God isn't ready for me to have the answers yet. As I was reading Psalm 46 the other night, God pointed out a verse that I have read so many times. Verse 10 "Be still and know that I am God." Not only does God want me to have patience, but He also wants me to chill out and just focus on the fact that he is God.

So here I am, just trying to relax and focus on God's wonders. I'm going to take the time to stop what I am doing and focus on God. I'm going to turn off all of the distractions for a while and give that time to God. That is all He is asking from me right now, and I am going to give him that. When God gets the attention he so desires from me, He will show me the answers I am seeking...
