SHOW

I'm doing a new Bible study, it's called "live a praying life" my home work for this week is to pray this verse everyday this week, to pray it slowly, to consider each word and phase. 

I made this image with the help of google images and a photo app and put it as my lock screen on my iphone. 

As I created it, I felt like it was just a normal good bible verse. A few hours later I did today's homework. It was really easy, it asked me "why do I pray" does it change God? if it does, is he still sovereign? if it doesn't change him, what's the point?

Then I read the verse. The first word "show" was bold- we pray to have God show us HIS ways. 

I interviewed yesterday. I need to pray about it. I now see I need to specifically pray for God to show me what to do. 

         -----[tingle feelings start below this]-----

What if I am to stay here, just so I can finish this 13week study? What if The Lord wants to show me the value in staying now and learning and doing what I need here for the sake of our relationship, not for me to love my job and what I am doing. 

I was pretty sure that I thought that  could never be the answer. I'm pretty sure I never actually thought God would say "stay". I really was just waiting around for Him to say go, move forward, in a clear voice. 

Wow, wow, I wish you could feel the weird tingle and feelings my body had as I wrote this post--those thoughts and words were not me. They pained me a little to write them. They weren't what I wanted, but they came out of me. -show me your ways, O LORD.

Show me your ways, O LORD. 

There is power in that statement.

Show me your ways, O LORD.
