No one sees you! You’re invisible! You’re unseen! You’re forgotten! LIES! LIES! LIES of the enemy! His strategy is to trap you. If he can trap you, you will stay in place, you won’t move forward, and you won’t seek God. Maybe you been sitting in that dark space so long that now you’re not sure what to do because you’re starting to believe the lies. Maybe in your walk with God, you found yourself in your prayer room crying and saying, “God, I’m doing what you asked, I’m doing it all and no one is seeing…I’m still broken, and no one sees… I’m still broken, and no one sees…I’m still hurt, and no one sees…I want to forgive but I can’t and no one sees!” Maybe you don’t know God…YET..but you’re wondering if you even matter. No one sees you, no one noticed you haven’t called or text in a few days, no one noticed that you haven’t even come around in a few days, so maybe you don’t matter. Right now you maybe even thinking yes that is or was me but I want you to see you aren’t alone. Those thoughts were mine. I fell into the trap the enemy was throwing at me. I started to believe the lies. I want to encourage you right now like someone did for me to tell you that there is always light. John 8:12 -Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, ” I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life. I want you to see that the lies were never true because what I failed to see was that God was always with me then, now, and always but I had to decide if I wanted to continue to sit in the darkness with the enemy or walk in the light with God because he saw me and took me as I was at that moment. You have that choice too and I want you to know that it isn’t a coincidence that your reading this because God loves you, He calls you HIS and HE SEES YOU!!

Waiting……No one really enjoys these moments to be honest.

We all have stories we can share or relate to, I can imagine. We pray and we fast, hoping that whatever it may be, that it not take too long. That new thing we been praying about often has us searching. Being honest we most often search for the shortest route, the fastest route, and even the easiest route, that we think no one could know or even think about. We want the path leading us to our new thing that will only have us endure the least battle or fight. BUT GOD…knows why or why not, how, and how long. We may not understand why HE is bringing us through a longer rougher route. It may seem like everything we been praying about was never even heard, but HE knows this is the route we need to build our faith and trust in HIM for what lies ahead. It may seem like we may have been praying and fasting for so long and have yet to see any evidence of any new thing. Whatever that new thing is that HE is holding and waiting for that right time…HIS time, is HIS to reveal. It may look hard, it may hurt some but “the wait” was never said to be easy, only that it would be worth it. It is worth it to be able to experience and see the Glory of God bring to life what you once thought was dead. We read in the bible of many that had to be in a season of waiting to receive their promises with most having to wait year after year and I can imagine a few are popping in your head now. They weren’t alone and neither are we, the same God that got them through is getting you through. Be confident, patient, strong, courageous, and stay focused and don’t rush the wait.

Psalm 27:13-14 - 13 Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. 14 Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.
