I did something yesterday that was super hard to do. I told someone something they didn’t want to hear. Something that would change the relationship that we now have. I spent many days contemplating not opening my mouth; worried that I would hurt the person’s feeling. Before I chose the day to talk to my friend; I spent several days in prayer. Several days fasting. I gave the entire situation to God, I left it in His hands. Wanna know the outcome? SMOOTH… It was the easiest conversation I ever had. Why? Because God went before me and prepared the way. Today as I sat back and reflected on how well, something that I was so scared of doing turned out. I am blown away by the power of prayer. I am blown away by God’s ability to prepare a heart to hear something it did NOT want to hear. Here’s the biggest blessing. The person actually saw clearly what God was doing through what I had to say. In fact before I told them the why, they told it to me! I am learning on this new journey that doing life God’s way bears benefits that far outweigh any fears I could have. We all have things we don’t want to do, but have to anyway. Give it to God, let Him go before us and prepare the path. He is the clearer of obstacles and the author of peace.

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (Romans 8:28).

So what’s my plan of attack? Walking forward with God always before me (He’s got the map 😉 ).
