My Question

Word of Life

Beloved soul, in moments of uncertainty and longing, remember the words of Ecclesiastes 3:1, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens." Perhaps, in this particular season, the silence is inviting you to pause and reflect. It is often in these quiet spaces that we find clarity and understanding. Consider, dear one, the gentle art of patience. As Proverbs 19:11 reminds us, "A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense." While it is natural to seek connection and understanding, sometimes stepping back allows the other person the space they might need. Instead of persistent calling, perhaps offer a silent prayer for guidance and peace. Trust that in due time, the answers you seek will be revealed, for our Heavenly Father knows the desires of our hearts. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). May you find comfort in His promises and trust in the unfolding of His divine plan. Let your heart rest in His peace. Amen.

Bible Commentary

This passage encourages humility and faith, suggesting that divine wisdom surpasses human reasoning. By seeking God's insight, believers find a path aligned with His will, leading to a more fulfilling and righteous life.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I seek Your guidance in this situation. Help me trust in You with all my heart and not rely on my own understanding. Grant me patience and wisdom to know whether to continue reaching out or to wait. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
