I've been discouraged and frustrated with some people I volunteer/ serve with. In one instance, there is a person who I have persistently been requesting information from (and I can't proceed without this information)---but to no avail. This affects several people and involves money, so it's not like I can just let it go. But I dont' know what to do.
Then, I need help for some events coming up, and all the people who've told me "I really want to do this and that" aren't coming through. Right now I'm in a jam because I"ve made a commitment to one of my groups, and need to replace myself in another group. But I can't find a replacement!
So, I've been praying and asking for wisdom. This morning, I read the following:
"Thus says the Lord who made it, the Lord who formed it to establish it (the Lord is His name): 'Call to Me and I will answer you, and show you great and might things, which you do not know.' Jeremiah 33:3.
I"ve been half-heartedly seeking wisdom---and just pressing on in the flesh. It's a common pattern with me----being divinely inspired, divinely equipped to do something, and then occasionally (not all the time, nor every time) begin to complete it in the flesh. This was my "come-back" reminder----to turn these things back over to the Lord, knowing (as the verses say above) that He will answer.
Lord--I lift up all these things that have been frustrating me, discouraging me, and lay them at your feet. You've led me to be involved in these ministries and organizations---but I need Your strength and wisdom to press on. Teach me how to communicate in new ways---help me to put on love and patience and encouragement----and please help me to hear your voice and squash the enemy's. Thank you Lord---Lisa
