The Answer Will Come

Sometimes we want something to happen more than anything else, we think about it all the time, we plan how we can make it happen while we ask and beg God to just do it.
The thing is . . . while we may feel that everything else in our life seemingly rests on the one thing happening, believing whether we live in heartbreak or happiness rests on the one thing, thinking we can't live without it happening . . . we need to surrender it to God in order to experience a full life.  Turns out, the one thing will not define our life but,  if, we put our confidence in it or in God.  
 I have learned that no matter how difficult that one thing is, even when it is darkness in our life, when it means other things don't go the way we want, when it all seems broken and wrong, when we can't see how we will go on without it, God will answer with a plan beyond our comprehension. We can look ahead with confident hope.  

Consider.
This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place.  It will not be delayed (Habakkuk 2:3, NLT).
God's answer will come.  But.  We must decide whether or not we will wait, surrendering it all to God, trusting Him when we can't seem to live beyond the one thing.  Life changes when we put our confidence in God, releasing it all to Him, resting in Him, rather in the one thing.  Let me say it, surrendering the one thing can be incredibly difficult and, yet, when we finally release it, placing our confidence in Him, we are freed to experience the gift of today and tomorrow.
Put your confidence in God. Wait.  Rest.  Trust.  Believe.  
Learning to Kickstart the day confident the answer will come,
