Sometimes God wants you uncomfortable. “You mean God does NOT want me happy, comfortable, and satisfied?” God created you for something much more than happiness, at least in the way we usually think about happiness. Our natural concept of our existence is much too shallow, much too tame, and much too comfortable.
Likewise, people ask, how do you know when God is telling you to move?
Words can’t express the ache in my heart. I feel pain every day. I pray to you as I am desperate for help. I need to know that you care, that you love me, be my refuge from pain, replacing my distress with peace, and be my strength when I feel weak and find it hard to carry on.
Similarly, how do you trust God in tough times?
God wants to hear everything from you – nothing is too small or too big. Pour out your heart in prayer, asking God for what you want. Trust him to provide the wisest answer in his perfect timing. He knows your heart.
