From my devotion today out of Jesus Calling (which I love and highly recommend). It is perfectly fitting for me today.
I am able to do far beyond all that you ask or imagine. Come to me with positive expectations, knowing that there is no limit to what I can accomplish. Ask my Spirit to control your mind, so that you can think great thoughts of Me. Do not be discouraged by the fact that many of your prayers are yet unanswered. Time is a trainer, teaching you to wait upon Me, to trust Me in the dark. The more extreme your circumstances, the more likely you are to see My Power and Glory at work in the situation. Instead of letting difficulties draw you into worrying, try to view them as setting the scene for My glorious intervention. Keep your eyes and your mind wide open to all that I am doing in your life.
Unanswered prayers? yep. Difficulties with this process? yep. Discouraging? yep. Waiting? yep. Extreme circumstances? YEP - Ethiopia may shut down adoptions?!! This hit me square between the eyes today and I just wanted to share it.
Until there is more news to share...
Thank you for sharing. I needed to be reminded today. Some days are harder than others but friends like you are standing by to pass on the messages you receive. We are all messengers.
