Back In God’s Workshop

I’ve been so blessed compared to so many. God has pulled me out of so many pits. He has taken me through so many seemingly unbearable seasons. Every time He has made me stronger through the trials.

Here I am back in God’s workshop. I have way more questions than answers. My body once again is holding me hostage. However, God now has my full attention. There is literally nothing I’m taking for granted. My prayers are not out of obligation, but opportunity to seek God desperately.

I feel like a child who has been put in timeout. Yet, I know God has purposely allowed me to be in this season of greater discomfort. God never gives me a sermon He doesn’t first make me practice. So, here I am Lord trusting you fully even when I don’t feel in control of anything.

Pain is never truly welcomed by us. However, God often uses our discomforts to get us back to full reliance on Him. He understands our frustrations, disappointments, and sorrows. Even still, it’s in these times God is working more than ever to draw us closer to Him.

“But he knows where I am going. And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.” (Job 23:10)(NLT)
