The Lord will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being caught.
Lord, surely the wrath of man shall praise You; with the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself. The king’s heart is in Your hand, Lord, like the rivers of water; You turn it wherever You wish. When my ways please You, You make even my enemies to be at peace with me. I wait for You, Lord, my soul waits, and in Your word I do hope. My soul waits for You, Lord, more than those who watch for the morning—yes, more than those who watch for the morning. I sought You, Lord, and You heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. You, eternal God, are my refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms; You will thrust out the enemy from before me, and will say, “Destroy!” I am blessed for I trust in You, Lord, and my hope is in You. What then shall I say to these things? If God is for me, who can be against me? Your Word reveals wonderful reasons for me to be confident in You.
I praise You, Lord God, for being my Refuge, my Strength, and my Deliverer.

To be transparent isn't easy for me or probably you.
We are ready and eager to move and start a new chapter in our new hometown. The Church home is decided. The job secured. The home...it's the crux of the battle.
Can you claim this?
I am blessed for I trust in You, Lord, and my hope is in You. What then shall I say to these things? If God is for me, who can be against me?
I know that God's got what we need already in hand. My problem is me.
My brain, when confronted with these kinds of conundrums, goes into overdrive. It struggles to understand what is happening and why.
Well we KNOW why. Satan doesn't want us up there where our reason to go is our sanctification.
He will discourage where he can. He will convince us that it's too much, the distance too far. That being in the will of God costs too much. He will try to get all to take the easy route. Showing you less conflicts if we but stay where we are.
God is using my situation to help someone else out there in this world through my talking out my feelings. On my phone, the wallpaper on it says in big letters "PRAY" right in the middle.
I woke up in the middle of the night and prayed. I pack up things and try to pray. The battle belongs to the Lord.
I have to wait upon the Lord. I do not look forward to the temporary decisions we have had to make, but I have to obey God in doing them that way. I have said to several that there's reasons why I hate roller coasters. I cannot stomach big swooping up and down. Emotionally right now that's my struggle.
Pray, pray, pray. This last part of that prayer above is oh so true. God gives me plenty of reasons to be confident in Him.
In the midst of these struggles in life I must still obey and still work towards what He's put in front of me to do.
My advice and recommendation to all is to embrace prayer at all times. Cry to God if you need to. Even that is a prayer. When we don't have the words the Spirit does.
