We are never going to be happy until we realize one thing. This is the only life we got and we must make the best out of it! The life you have is a precious gift from God.
If your living in a run down apartment or a bad neighborhood, have a roommate you can't stand, or just living in such stress and you feel like your never going to get out of your current situation. Then let me tell you you got an awful lot of praying to do my friend. Just because you pray for a certain something and it's not happening within your time span, don't mean it'll never happen and your stuck there for the rest of your life. You have to DO something about it! Don't just lay around on your butt all day and eat till you feel like throwing up. If you are tired of your Job then go to school. And don't give me that Mumbo Jumbo crap saying "oh I can't afford it or I don't have time." That is why they invented monthly payment planning and online schooling for! In other words MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN!! Pray your little butt off!
Ask God for guidance and ask for peace of heart for the current situation your in. God does answer your prayers but IN HIS TIME! I know I say that a lot but I just really want to get the point out there.
You have to cherish what you have right now because in a flash it could all be taken away! Life for right now. Take it day by day. Keep a prayer journal and jot down what you prayed for. Then put down the answers you get from God. Keep it near by, that way when a dilemma comes along, you will look back and say to yourself "Hey it's not impossible after all. Look what he did for me at that point in time. What a wonderful answer I got then."
God loves you no matter who you are. He is right there waiting patiently. He don't want you to worry yourself sick. He wants you to turn to him and put all your burdens on him. There is no reason to worry! Put your all into him so you can get to that point where, when facing problems, you can say "you know what, I'm not worried. God's got this!" I have a perfect example for you of my own experience I'd like to share:
Last Tuesday I went down to the court house to get my kids birth certificates. I brought this folder with me that had my childrens' birth announcements, social security cars, and some other important papers. Well I didn't even noticed that I lost the folder until yesterday when I was frantically searching for it. I ended up calling the office I was at almost a week ago and they said they didn't have the folder I had lost (but I knew I lost it at the court house!) I prayed for it all night and hardly slept. Prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed for God to help me find this folder. I kept thinking about identity theft, thinking I'll never get those birth announcements again and on and on. Well, this morning when I was getting ready for my women's heart to heart group at my church, I got a phone call from the court house. The same office I called yesterday that said they didn't have my folder. She said before she closed someone came to her and said she found it. Now think about it. How did this woman know to call me? Why would someone hold the folder for a whole week then decide to say "oh I found this". I mean I was there a week ago. Now this, I KNOW this was God! He had not only answered my prayer, but he also was telling me "Hey, trust me! I got this!"
My friends. I hope you can experience this great, wonderful, unexplainable feeling that God gives. A friend of mine (you know who you are) left me this verse and it speaks to me so much so I'll leave you with this.
Isaiah 41:10
Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am YOUR GOD. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
