"And when you begin to see that person in the middle of a difficult and painful struggle, don’t try to prevent it, but pray that his difficulty will grow even ten times stronger, until no power on earth or in hell could hold him away from Jesus Christ."
I know for myself personally, guilty! Guilty of getting in the way of God's work. Every single time we desire to "help" someone avoid pain, or difficulty, or any of life's hard things, we insert ourselves into God's will.
Thinking of Job, the best service his friends provided took place when they just sat with him. Sitting by his side not saying a word provided positive support. It's when they started to speak that the wheels came off the support of their presence and everything went downhill.
It's our role to intercede in prayer, to seek God's will and purpose. This for ourselves, family, friends and everyone we know. Our needs are already know by our Father and in reality.... we truly only have one need - Our Father.
Roll all of this up and we need only desire more of HIM and less and less and less of of ourselves! God wants us to be totally sold out to HIM, HIS will and HIS way. When we place HIM entirely before everything in our life, then regardless of what comes our way today or tomorrow, our focus will remain the same.... God and Him alone.
Be BLESSED Always!!!
