Can You hear me?

We hear all the time "prayer still works" and "all good things come to those who wait." And the above statements are very true, but the difficulty comes when we're in the midst of praying and waiting. Sometimes it feels like God isn't there, and you don't feel Him. Just because you can't feel Him doesn't mean that He's not right there beside You, because He undoubtedly is, but it's still hard. It's hard to be in the middle of praying and waiting and everything feels...stagnant. It's easy to give up, and it almost seems worthless to keep on fighting. Impatience becomes your closest companion and confusion becomes your neighbor, and nothing seems to be going the way you'd like. In the midst of our heartache, confusion, impatience and immobilization, God is right there. He's with us every step of the way, and He hears every word that we pray. There isn't one action, thought, or thing we do that the Lord doesn't know about. He knows all, and He sees all. That being said, while we're praying and waiting, He sees the end result. He's already mapped everything out. Nothing is a surprise to Him, and in the end, once you've prayed and waited and you've gotten an answer from the Lord, you'll be stronger because you were able to make it out if that difficult season. The only way we can make it out, although, is with Jesus. So even if it seems like He's not listening, He is. If you keep on praying and keeping the faith, God will see that you are consistent and that what you're praying for is truly a desire in your heart, and that you trust Him, and He will bring you through. Be encouraged. Jesus is with you.

“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
Exodus 14:14

“Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.”
Psalms 27:14 

“Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”
Deuteronomy 31:6

Be blessed.
-Micah

New

new - n. recent, fresh We all love new things. New shoes, new clothes, new hairstyles, new electronics, new movies, you name it. The list could go on. The funny thing about new things is that they're only new temporarily. Things will break, deteriorate, tear, rip, crack, shatter. Material objects will not stay perfect. They fade, they pass away, the lose their purpose once used to their specified intent. They have a limit. They can only be used so much, then, they will need to be repaired or even replaced. Even then, they still won't last forever. We all greatly dislike when our new things begin to possess imperfections because of their usage and other factors. Seam rips, ink stains, cracked phone screens, chips. There's nothing enjoyable about things becoming imperfect and unusable. When you were born, you were pure. Couldn't speak, walk, do things on your own, you depended on your mother to cherish you. As you grew older, you'd begin to gain independence. You l...

Wait

Wait - v. to be inactive, to pause, or to be in a state of repose until something happens Waiting. It's never fun, neither enjoyable. It's not something that people react positively to. We want results as soon as possible, especially those who are living in a western society. We've created things such as fast food restaurants, drive thru windows, microwave meals, and fast passes at amusement parks because of our impatience and demand to receive things the instant that we request them. We have to wait in lines, wait at stop lights, and wait in life because everything can't go at the pace we wish them to, and there are people, just like us, who have things to accomplish. People often refer to waiting as a "waste of time" but in fact, it isn't. For example, if you go to an amusement park, and the wait for a ride you've been yearning to go on is two hours long, you'll most likely be willing to wait because you know that in the end, once you've got...

Let me be His.

God is the type of Father that never misses a soccer game. He shows up early while you’re warming up & cheers for you, even before the game begins. He’s the type of Father that screams your name as you’re running down the field, rejoicing when you make a goal; embracing you with the same love whether or not you win the game, proud of you regardless of the outcome. The type of Father that stoops down to hug you, then picks you up & spins you around, attacking you with kisses as you laugh until your stomach begins to hurt.  God is the type of Father that has His arms open to embrace you when you get home from school, and picks you up and kisses your face, exclaiming how He missed you during the day.  God is the type of Father that when you come home crying, is ready to listen to you, and brings you into His chest as He soothes you with the sound of His voice, tenderly wiping your tears away, and holding you soundly in His arms, rocking you back and forth until...
