Do you ever get the Feeling that God is  withholding something from you?  As a whole or something in particular? 

Have you Been praying and not getting what you feel you should? Or what you think you need?  Perhaps it is the timing that you are questioning and it is taking a lot longer than you feel necessary. 

Maybe, you just want something that bad you are holding onto the faith that it will be delivered soon?  But soon doesn’t seem to come? 

Thought twister. 

Could it be God protecting you?   Have you ever given that a thought?   

Here’s Another thought twister. 

Maybe that through the time you are waiting for it, your heart is being made ready or being tweaked and the very thing you are looking for so desperately doesn’t seem to feel the same or you realize you don’t need it.   

OR Do you just want to stomp your foot and say “but why”? Or the ole ‘why me?” 

So, we are going to explore that for just a moment but I do want to present the best suggestion there is……..you explore it WITH GOD, asking Him questions, looking for answers and leaning on Him to give you the answers.   

But here is a little insight of what I know and have experienced myself. 

Be prepared to wait, be still, and start with surrendering what your thoughts are on the subject to the one who Knows everything about what you are looking for and every nook and cranny along the way….. 

Start with the simple, heartfelt prayer “God, give me your eyes to see this and YOUR understanding”  

Say it.  Mean it and open your heart to what that means.  I do promise a whole new perspective will becomes yours.   

Instantly?  Maybe.  Could it take some time.  Probably.  Will it happen, it will …..with faith as God works with your heartfelt prayer and your surrendering, 

God will surely give you his eyes to see situations possibly like you never have before. 

So, Could it possibly be that He worked, is working, and will forevermore work behind the scenes…… all to protect you or prepare your heart, change your heart as He sees fit all to give you the best? 

I definitely have faith in that and have lived many scenarios like that.  Actually, still am.  I can tell you that when I starting surrendering, it didn’t feel good all the time.  At times it seem releasing, at times it seemed hard and then other times, you know that stubborness of knowing you should let go and not wanting to.  The truth remains that as I did and started living a lifestyle of surrendering and asking for His eyes, my world changed. 

Do I live like that all the time.  No.  Here is where I bring out the realness in me.  I sometimes go on autopilot, rogue and start doing just to do and thinking I have everything under control.  News flash – this isn’t the best way to stay under His wings, however, Here is the good news.  When I recognize it, and talk to Him and ask Him to bring me back, He does.   

My whisper today was right out of the blue where a memory popped up and it was from a time that was not the best season in my life but I felt an overwhelming peace that the things that I thought should have happen but didn’t, the things I wanted to see come to fruition but never did, and the times in my life where things disappeared and I wondered why I had the loss and I had to grieve through, was Him actually protecting me, guiding me, changing my heart and constantly inviting me back to His protection all to where I am at in my life today, living my best life yet.  

Allow the Holy Spirit to enlightened you as you surrender your thoughts, your wants, desires and life all in believing and having faith that He really does have your best interest, wants to give you great and mighty things even more than you can think, and loves you that much that He will do what He needs to in order to protect you. 

Here are just a few scriptures to read and spend some time with allowing Him to speak to you through them.
