Being uncertain of the future can always be frustrating. It’s like walking in a dark, foggy forest not knowing where you’re headed; walking on unstable grounds, trees and branches everywhere, and the danger of animals surrounding you.
In the same way, we carry our crosses blinded and uncertain of where we are going. Our own doubts, fears, and struggles can be obstacles for us to walk with a clear mind and pure heart.
Just like in a dark foggy forest, only with light shining through we are able to see a glimpse of whats ahead. In the same way; the Lord is asking for our time to pray to Him for a clear answer to where we are going and for what He has planned for us.
Not only does a forest need light to be able to see but it needs a clear path to walk through safely. Prayer does the same with our own lives but prayer can do nothing if we don’t listen to what God has to say. Prayer always needs a listening ear to hear and see clarity of where God is leading us.
Being uncertain of where we are going is such a mystery but it’s quite a beautiful journey. Through the time we make for the Lord in prayer, we will witness the light shine on what the Lord’s desires for our lives.
Be not afraid to pray! With a faithful prayer time we slowly will unravel our uncertainty with the firm plan of the Lord.
A prayerful soul, becomes a listening heart.
My servant, for I have many more plans ahead of you. Stay patient and always remain faithful.
Benedictus Deus in Saecula
