Apr 8 Lord, i want to follow You, but i need direction

have you ever prayed so hard for something? multiple things? a job, a sign, a call, something big, something small? has God ever blessed you with what you prayed for, but it's not exactly what you imagined it to be? i can relate.

recently, God has blessed me ten-fold with an opportunity i prayed so hard for. but once i got this opportunity, it seemed to have come up short to my expectations. and this bothered me. i wondered why God would give me this opportunity for it to only leave me, wanting more. i understand that His plan is much more grand than i can even fathom or predict. so because of that i've wrestled with my feelings, i've nurtured them, and am now sitting with them pondering what to do.

i'll admit that i feel guilty about feeling so indifferent about this situation. i was lucky enough to be blessed with this opportunity, so what is God trying to tell me with these emotions? what do you do when your blessings contradict with your heart? i pray that the Lord opens doors, shuts doors, opens windows, shows me anything that will not show my path, but give me direction. has anyone else felt this way?

for those of you that have, here is a quote that has helped me for when it all seems out of my hands:

with every single day

may you be reminded

through all things unknown

He will still be good

He will still be with you

just like He said He would

-morgan harper nicholas

Lord,

I surrender. I put my trust into You. Lord, I trust You. I trust Your plan, I don't know it, yet I trust it because I surrender to You. I will fix my eyes on You. I will thank the closed doors, I will praise the ones that open. I ask that You help me find a way, make a path, for me to follow, so I can follow You. Thank You, for covering me in Your blessings and Your grace. I am so undeserving, yet everyday is it renewed.

Yours,

i pray for you, the reader. Whether you are in between a rock and a hard place, trying to see your path, or even overflowing with joy. i pray for you.
