I\u2019ve had my share of messy moments too. But here\u2019s the good news &#8212; we can\u2019t mess up so badly that God can\u2019t redeem it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn all things God works for the good\u2026\u201d (Romans 8:28)<br>All things. Even the missteps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So instead of beating ourselves up, we bring it to Him. Admit it. Release it. Trust Him to reshape it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, about knowing His will &#8212; it&#8217;s not as mysterious as we make it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God\u2019s will is never separate from God\u2019s Word. When we spend time in Scripture, something beautiful happens &#8212; our thinking begins to change. Our hearts soften. Our direction clears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBe transformed by the renewing of your mind\u2026\u201d (Romans 12:2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yes &#8212; sometimes His answer surprises us.<br>We think we\u2019re supposed to fix a situation, mend a relationship, or win someone over &#8212; and God gently says, \u201cStep back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not every battle is ours to fight.<br>Not every voice deserves our energy.<br>Sometimes His will is to love &#8212; and then let go.<br>That\u2019s not failure &#8212; that\u2019s wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here\u2019s a simple truth I\u2019ve learned, If we\u2019re unsure what to do &#8212; PAUSE!<br>God isn\u2019t in a hurry. He\u2019s not wringing His hands hoping we don\u2019t mess this up. He leads with peace, not pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let&#8217;s ask Him. Let&#8217;s open His Word. Pay attention to what stirs in our spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He will guide us. Maybe not with a text message &#8212; but always with perfect love, perfect timing, and a peace that lets us know &#8212;<br>We\u2019re right where we need to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#Godswill #pause #divineguidance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wished God would just send a text?\u201cTurn left.\u201d \u201cCall her.\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t eat that second cookie.\u201dWouldn\u2019t that make life easier?
