Today's prayer is frightening and hard for me. In the past five years I have had to learn to no longer plan a course of action on my feelings and what I'm comfortable doing, but listen to the Spirit who knows and shows me where to go and what to do. As I look back over those years I see an incredible growth in our little family unit. And instead of being sad and feeling overwhelming lonely, I picture myself on the other end of God's bungee cord. As Lisa says in this chapter and I have heard before " when we become believers, it's like we're on one end of a very long bungee cord and Jesus is on the other. We might wander far and wide, but never farther or wider than he can reach" . When it comes to our children, we need to let them get just a bit lost so they recognize they are on a road that isn't one God wants them on and then watch as they reach up to hold their Abba Daddy's hand.
Is it hard for you to rely completely on God to put you on your one true north?
