INSTANT TAKEAWAYS

1 | THE WAITING IS HARD 

The waiting is hard, build your confidence in God over time and relationship with Him so that you can trust in his plan.

2 | God provides opportunities

God provides opportunities to see Him along the way, we need to see the little moments, resources and people he puts around us.

3 | TAKE LITTLE STEPS

Be careful not to look through the lense of your own agenda in the waiting time, seek answers with a submissive obedient heart. Be willing to take little steps along the journey and he will lead you towards his answers.

“Is this you, God?”

questions I ask myself:

1. Am I making space to listen?
2. Are there obstacles in the way of my hearing? unconfessed sin or sin I’m holding onto
3. Am I obeying what He’s already told you?
4. How does this line up with what I know about God from His Word?
5. Have I invited someone whom I trust their walk with the Lord to help me discern God’s leading?
