Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. John 16:24
Just like any married couple, Alicia and I have recently been at odds with each other this week. Looking at all that we have going on in our lives at the present time is certainly contributing to our stress, not to forget the daily pressures of raising two children-both under the age of five. The timing of this couldn’t have been any better with Ash Wednesday and now the time for introspect with Lent. We have both been seeking God daily, even though many of the answers are not always clear, but we are both waiting patiently for God's direction in our marriage, with our children, at work, etc.
As we continue to dig deeper, I know that we will eventually come to the point of hearing God answer our questions and prayers with a "Yes, this is what is you need to do" or "No, you need to avoid doing this."
The only way we can achieve this kind of dependence on God's guidance is by staying in constant communication with Him through prayer and remaining grounded in His Word.
He wants what is good for us, but we truly have no way of knowing unless we move closer to Him to discern what His will for our life is.
