If only we could see how the twists and turns of our present are quietly clearing the path for our deepest hopes and dreams, we’d stop blaming God for the prayers that feel unanswered. If we truly knew what it would cost to make some dreams real, maybe we’d never dare ask for them at all.
But God, in His goodness, always knows what we need and how to shape our longings into something beautiful, in His time. So hold on, dear soul — be still and trust the unfolding. His deliverance is nearer than you think. You’re closer than you know.
I have been trying to sort things out. I am a horoscope Virgo, and as you might know, we Virgos tend to overthink and overanalyze. We have unanswered questions and unresolved baggage that pulls us down.
When God gives us a dream, a glimpse of what wonderful things are to come, we are the worst. We withdraw, worry, and become rough with dear people, especially if they have previously hurt us. We focus on the unpleasant parts of our lives, which attracts more negativity. Then we scream to God for help. Some of us may even be unhappy with God because, well, You weren’t right to me!☹️
Sometimes I sit aside and think about how God sees us, especially when we’re reaping the consequences of our bad labor. I like to think that God has a sense of humor, for even when we go through a period of mourning, he always picks us up, dusts us off, and sends us on our way, similar to the prodigal son story that Jesus told. During this time, I realized how much God loves us. He cares deeply about us and our growth, even when we make mistakes that make Him frown, He still chooses us.
I discovered that the moments we live in today are the answer to our prayers. The people we are with today are the ones our souls need to finish their mission. I had a wonderful time with my special person and family last night, and I couldn’t help but reflect on how much I needed these people in my life, and how much I wanted their love and attention to be genuine. It pleased my heart to know that it had finally come to pass and that everything is okay now.
We are living in the days of answered prayers, but we’re too busy to notice.
People come and go from our lives. However, feeling insecure, always assuming something is wrong, and obsessively consulting horoscopes and tarot cards will not speed up the process or bring our dream closer. God wants us to live in the present moment, to see the grace he has placed in the answered prayer.
Don’t jump to conclusions and give that person the highest possible nomination on earth; he or she will be unable to handle it. They are people, and when God challenges them, they will lose their cool and shout. But it is not our responsibility to sort things out for them; they must do it themselves.
If your previous strategy did not work, try a different approach. Instead of getting heated up about how flawed those people are, give them space to be themselves, to own their shortcomings, and they will return to you when they are all better.
It’s time to let go and stop gripping so tightly. The dream you’ve had is coming true, as are the people you need in your life, as well as your health, prosperity, and success. So quit peeking over the fence and trying to control how God will sail the boat of your life. His power is inconceivable, his affection is limitless. He can walk on water and separate waves; raise the volume of faith and wait for deliverance, since it will not come unless you are fully prepared.
