Tough times
My pride is broken down. I'm currently at a point of weakness. 2 Corinthians 12
9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
I can't do it on my own.
I need focus. Focus on my mission, focus on God, focus on what the Lord has called me to do.
I need patience. Patience for Him to work through me, patience for my visa, patience for my departure, patience for funds, patience with others.
I need love. Love for others, love for myself, unfailing love...just as Christ loves us.
I need wisdom. Wisdom when people question why I haven't left yet, wisdom to make the right decisions before I leave, wisdom in prioritizing.
I need provision. Provision regarding funds, provisions while I am in Belgium.
I need peace. Peace about leaving what I know, peace about my visa, peace with everyone I know.
Jehovah Jirah, He is my provider. May he renew a right spirit within me.
Seeking His guidance,
~Jessica
