    My prayer is that I lose the need to be in control of my life so I can have peace in waiting

    Honestly, you’ll feel so free when you just surrender to the fact that God knows what’s best for you better than you know what’s best for you. Let go and Let God!

    I'm watching this in July 2024 while a hurricane watch is in my country Trinidad and Tobago... So grateful for you all sharing this as I navigate this. I love the quote about the pearls... I'm waiting for God to grant me the desire of my heart with my partner to gain fruit in the waiting for us as individuals and as a family. Psalms 27 and Isiah 54

    Ladies thank you so much for this teaching. I am in a season that has lasted 13 years and you all have touched on many things God has been teaching me. This is confirmation that I am on track. I have hope even though it’s been 13 years. God has transformed me over these years. I am now able to rest and lean into what God is doing because it is supernatural. I am humbled at the patience, mercy and kindness the Lord has shown me. I’m learning to be patient and kind towards others. Especially to those who are mistreating me. God is just and keeps perfect records. he has taught me vengeance is His so don’t waste thoughts on getting people back. That’s Gods business. I am so grateful for my journey. It’s encouraging to hear some speak what I’ve lived these last 13 years. Many don’t understand, even believers, but I am on God’s agenda and I have peace. Thank you again. You are a blessing!!!

    I used to think of the season of waiting as the worst until God revealed to me that it is for me not against me. it is in waiting I'm renewed and refined for the calling ahead. if you look at the bible a lot of people waited after being anointed before taking up the call. Joshua to serve under Moses before he could lead the Israelites into Canaan. Elisha served under Elijah before he could take up his calling of being a prophet. Jesus himself waited before he could start his work. birthing something before its time can lead to premature death. Lean into the waiting, use it to get closer to God, let His will prevail over yours and be obedient. You will be more grateful for it.

    From a single mother struggling working 6 days a week in Virginia… I got two kids. I always ask what can I do. I reach out to God. But I guess I’m too far. 🤷 Driving 2 hours away to a job after applying to over 300 jobs in two weeks. I got 3 offers. 2 denied. One accepted. My rent is 2x the rent. One father is on the run from child support. Other father walked out of my son’s life. Where’s my relief?

    I’m praying the most high G-d helps you, comforts you, and shows you His face. Put it on Him; insist He show up to help you. Bring destiny helpers; recall to Him how you’ve served Him, and tell Him you can’t do it without Him. He is needed so much. Praying for you sister; sending you love in Jesus’ name, and praying for help immediately.
