Lifeline #3: Are you seeking an answer?
If you’ve found yourself seeking God for clarity or direction, then we have something in common. If you’re waiting to see the fulfillment of the desires of your heart, then I can totally relate to parts of your journey. While I’m sure my questions to God may differ from yours, our instruction manual (the Bible) is the same.
Many of my prayers in the past few years have centered around the establishment of my family. Well, a few days ago, I recalled a time back in 2021 when I was seeking God for clarity about marriage. The Holy Spirit led me to study the miracle of Jesus turning water into wine (John 2:1-11). He changed the way I visualized that story in scripture. I began to see the wine as simply the fulfillment of a need rather than the answer. I saw Jesus as The Answer because He was the supplier of the wine which was the need for that day.
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 KJV
I want to share some of the words I jotted down that morning as the Holy Spirit gave them to me. I believe it’ll speak to you no matter your circumstance.
Your confirmation, clarity, and direction regarding your prayer request is coming directly to you (Jeremiah 33:3). You will discern what’s sent by Me as your mind is set on Me (Romans 12:2, Colossians 3:2). You will know where to place your yes and you will know where to place your noes. I, the Lord, will prepare you when you are face-to-face with the very things and people that have come to rise for or against my promises. You will be equipped and you will be ready (Ephesians 2:10). I'm making you ready right now. Trust. Just because you don't have all the natural answers does not mean I won't prepare you for the tests. My word is LIFE. I am your study guide (John 16:13) and I will not lead you astray. Follow Me (John 12:26).
I pray you are encouraged to follow The Answer today while you wait for the answer(s). I am so confident He will take care of you and you will have all that you need and the additional things you don’t even know to ask for in Jesus’ name.
I’m praying for you today. I love you!

p.s. Imagine if Jesus would’ve never been invited to that wedding in Cana? As a result of His presence and actions, His glory was put on display and His disciples believed in Him. Consider what will happen as we invite Him into our own stories! What a beautiful opportunity we have to trust Him today!
