When there’s no actual progress you can see in life, He’s still been working.

When you’ve prayed the same prayer for 34,561 times and it’s still seeming to be unchanged, He’s still been hearing them.

When you can’t see the things you’ve been asking Him for yet, He’s still putting it together…

He’s still there.

God’s not confused, mistaken, surprised, or upset.

He is everything He said He is.

So enjoy the ride of no visible proof of accomplishment in your task-oriented desires.

Step up face to face and confront your perfectionistic person.

Tell her to chill the heck out, and take a seat.

Her way isn’t going to bring God’s good, acceptable, or perfect will.

Only He can, as she releases the grip of the reigns…He wants her to have it more than she wants it, but it won’t work her way… only His.

Sit with me in the uncomfortable with this.

Feel the prickly rising up in your flesh, let it tell you to grab ahold of the reigns, and you better do so quickly… let the specifics roll in… all the what ifs, as the panic wants to take over… and then, one by one, you quench her voice, by speaking His Word.

Confront each and every detail and as you do, the doubt and unbelief that’s darkened and weighed your spirit, will fall off like ice melting off the trees…

I don’t care how long it takes; I will not lord my life, Jesus will.
