Waiting is a test of Faith....that can be hard to endure

We are selling our house, went up on the market on September 1st 2011. Our first week we had 3 showings our 2nd week we had 4 more but it has slowed down......waiting. In the meantime we have found a house we are praying over for our family. As we wait we pray for wisdom and the Lords direction in all of this. For God to show us his will and help us have discernment. There are times I want to give up as I am afraid of the wait and I tell myself its contentment with what I have when in fact it is FEAR! Why do I Fear am I not Gods child??? What is Fear??  These are the thoughts that consumes me and bring me to the Lord and his Word for comfort. 

Yesterday he brought my attention to this verse at church: 

Psalms 56:3

When I am afraid,

I will put my TRUST in YOU.

Trust that is the key to all of this....Trust in the one who is in control of it all. Why focus in the what if's? Why focus on time and possibilities?? 

Philippians 4:6&7

Be anxious for nothing,but in everything by PRAYER and SUPPLICATION with THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known to God.

And the peace of GOD, which surpasses all comprehension,will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

So Trust with Prayer, Supplication and Thanksgiving is the key to PEACE.

Father,

I pray over our house that if it is your will to sell this one and give us the new house it would get done. I only want your will so give us peace and comfort over this.

Thank you for your word that pours over me as a shield and protects me from evil. Lord my heart is to be in your will and live in a way that brings you glory. I don't want the cares of this world to weight me down but instead for them to direct people towards you. May you use our life to show all around us of who you are and how you are faithful in all things. 

Thank you for the house we do have and the way you have care for us daily. Thank you for my family and the man you have given me to provide for us. Thank you for allowing me to stay home and educate my children. Thank you for the life you have given me through your son Jesus Christ.

In Jesus name I pray all this Amen

Jessie
