This is an excerpt from the Journal of my Struggles.
This is my prayer to God to lead me to make a right business decision. August 25, 2018.
Precious Lord, I bless Your holy name! Thank You for Your Spirit that leads me to all truth!
Job felt so lost, and this burst out from his soul:
“If only there were a mediator between us, someone who could bring us together. The mediator could make God stop beating me, and I would no longer live in terror of his punishment. Then I could speak to him without fear, but I cannot do that in my own strength.”
(Job 9:33-35 NLT).
He desperately needed the freedom I have today, to boldly come to the throne of mercy!
He had no access to the Father. But I am so thankful for Your death on the Cross paving the way for me now!
Thank You , Awesome God, Everlasting Father! Please, help me not to waste my sorrows. I understand that everything that happens to me is You equipping me for Your purpose for my life.
I know you’re holding my wrist, letting my fingers move freely. But, You are the one who guides my course!
I am not in the position of Job; however, I am in the position of Proverbs 25:2:
“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, and it is the glory of a king to search out a matter.”
(Proverbs 25:2 NET).
I seek Your will in this business decision that I must make. Please illuminate my darkness because You are my lamp:
“For You are my lamp, O Lord; the Lord illuminates my darkness.”
(2 Samuel 22:29 MEV).
I’ll go to bed trusting in Your mercy and compassion to tell me about Your will in this case. Amen. Thank Lord.
Before I went to bed, I heard that small still voice in my intuition saying, “No”.
Hallelujah! I do nothing until my Lord and Savior guides me.
Later I saw that it was not a business, but a scam. Job did not have a Mediator who would allow him to speak with God, but by the blood of Jesus we have free access to the throne of mercy!
You too, beloved reader, can have that wonderful access to the throne of mercy. You just have to ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come and live within you and you will enjoy the peace that passes all understanding. May the Lord bless you.
