I prayed long and hard about changing jobs. I knew that where I was did not fit what I wanted in life. I applied to so many places, and prayed for change. Yet, it seemed like I was going nowhere. I got no calls, no feedback, no interviews. I grew frustrated because I wanted a switch so badly, but I had no where to go.
I finally made my peace with God. I told Him that I would keep searching, but if He kept me where I was, I would be content with His decision. I didn't want to move to a place that was out of His will. And I asked Him to show me the reasons why He kept me in the same place.
God answered my prayers and showed me some things about my tenure at that job. He showed me the relationships that had developed and the lessons that I learned. He revealed how my attitude had matured and how my patience had been refined.
Then He answered the root prayer and gave me something that puts me right on the path I want to go! I could not be any more happier or excited. God is good! Thank you, Jesus!
So, don't get discouraged when it takes a while for your prayers to get answered. It may take some months (or years, like me), but God does hear you. He is setting you up with the perfect answer that suits you the best. Keep trusting and believing. It's not in vain.
Verse of the Day: In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears...He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. Psalm 6:18, 19
