How Quickly I Forget I'm Yours

Okay, so we are almost a week into our fast and I just wanted to write a word of encouragement to those reading. God had been revealing himself to me in a way that I have never experienced. My week started off great and had gradually become something that I have struggled with. Mine has not been so much what I am fasting, but it has been the people around me. From bad attitudes, to people hurting you, to a consant headache from no caffeine, etc. Satan has a way to manipulate any situation (for me: people, food, new job, I failed a test for school) to discourage us and I am living proof this week. As I was sitting in my car at lunch today I began thinking of all the mess of the week I began to go through my lists of "unanswered" prayers and began to feel as though my prayer felt meaningless/were hitting the sunroof in my car. I feel as though I've been in this "Gumby-Growing" period for much to long and got discouraged and I had begin to lose faith today. God quickly reminded me that I am HIS and my ways are not always his ways and he knows I am discouraged and he has heard me and been there every step of the way preparing the next steps for me. He's carried me all my life and for that I am thankful! I than remembered again why I had chose to do this fast again. I have just been wanting God to show me the next step, to help calm the storms in my life and to for me to find a new love and hope in him. I encourage you, don't forget God is going before you to make a way no matter what your need/prayer is...he's preparing your next steps! I am praying for you all.
