What is God dealing with you on at this time?

LucieLoo12 · Nov 1, 2011

God has been dealing with me on these things:

Studying to be quiet :look:

Tarrying in His presence more. Not just praying or talking all the time or feel like i have to be doing something, but just being still enjoying his presence.

Loving my nieghbor as myself.

LoveisYou · Nov 1, 2011

my penchant to be hard on myself

patience......yes Lord

crlsweetie912 · Nov 1, 2011

mine is a balance between being Christlike, and allowing people to use you as a doormat.
I have always been a "people pleaser" stemming from childhood issues, but I'm tired of being used, and I have to find a balance that will keep me sane and at peace.

Not to tell all my business...

Don't tell left hand what the right hand is doing. :yep:

Patience, purity, and obedience are the three that come to mind.

To be a christian. Not in lip service, but in everything.

TraciChanel · Nov 1, 2011

Trust. I definitely think that's the main issue He's working on with me.

Rainbow Dash · Nov 1, 2011

Putting all my trust in Him.

Going deeper in the Word and prayer.

Keeping a sound mind.

Intercession, so much prayer is needed.

LucieLoo12 · Nov 1, 2011

Yes, Yes, Yes!!! I was in prayer the other day, and something told me "When will you begin praying for others besides yourself?" :ohwell:

It just smote my heart

I learned a long time ago never to pray for patience. :nono:

Just remember, God has a sense of humor. :grin:

He won't be giving you that patience. You will definitely be working for it.

I was just talking to a friend about this at lunch.
I've been working towards something that I know is for me because everytime I leave it.....it somehow finds its way back to me.
I asked God why I didn't have my "big break" yet when others around me who are pursuing the same thing have. Of course I wasn't expecting an answer. And I know it sounds so religious and cliche to say that God spoke to you or you heard his voice....but yeah....to my surprise, I actually got an answer. He basicaly told me that he hasn't allowed me to have success in that arena yet because he knows that I wouldn't recognize it as a blessing from him but I would give myself the credit. :ohwell:

It was a hard pill to swallow but it's true. Because of my anger with God, I've been having a haughty hard. So I'm happy that I rec'd a message so I can get it together before I get a true chin-check from Him.

1). my mouth, my mouth my mouth... especially when I say something and it's discounted/dismissed and someone either asks me to repeat what I've said or says the exact same thing ~ grinds my gears...

2) Following God's Word, even when it seems no one else is...

and He just checked me... lol I was about to try to delicately complain about the work situation and the boss just came up with a "field trip" that I dont have to return to the office for...

He's definitely the god of *milk&cookies* (a family inside joke that means the small things)

niknik253 · Nov 1, 2011

Patience obedience and trust.

LucieLoo12 · Nov 1, 2011

I have to add something...He has been dealing with me is, confessing EVERYTHING to Him, Not just brushing things off or pushing it to the back of my mind. but laying everything at His feet!

crlsweetie912 I can totally relate. I started taking time for myself. I mean literally not pick up the phone for days on end and limiting phone conversations to about an hour, going out alone, etc. It made me appreciate myself more and take my time to think things through before being bothered with anyone.

THIS! I'm learning that God cares about my problems and just trust Him. So since he wants my issues, I GIVE THEM TO HIM!!!

Things I'm working on would be not picking up those problems I lay at his feet.

Be more positive and speak His word over my life.

Be more sensitive to His promptings and individuals.

LifeafterLHCF · Nov 1, 2011

Well I believe Gods is working on

Trust
Patience with self
Self-Love
Having a tranquil consistent nature about myself
Cursing
Worrying about future

My life right now is on hold in my mind.I feel my life and years are flying by but right now I feel I'm in a under construction time and alot of things are being ripped up,thrown in the trash and rebuilt.This is a good time.

TeeMBL · Nov 3, 2011

Maintaining the peace he's provided in the midst, not allowing anyone to disrupt that peace, even if that means removing them from my life. People can add so much stress to your life/situations if you allow them, especially, like Shimmie said, if they know all your business.

Not being afraid to ask Him for my desires, I know he'll take care of my needs but there are things I just desire and want, sometimes I feel bad to pray for those things.

I love those moments when I'm riding in the car, and I'll just call out "Father" and I've actually heard him ask what's wrong sweetheart? It made my heart skip a beat that he came running to me, that's when I had a desire to tell him everything on my mind good or bad.

So, I guess he's also been dealing with me about honesty in our relationship, not sugarcoating my prayers.

GulfCoastChica · Nov 3, 2011

Prayer

For some reason, I sike myself out of regular and consistent prayer. I meditate on God's word daily, I read the Bible and praise Him etc. but over the years I have talked myself out of regular prayer and I believe it is because I have to confront a lot of things that worry or bother me in prayer and I have a tendency to want to escape or avoid hard topics. I also have a tendency to try to start up praying then I stop when I don't see results fast enough. I feel bad about that. :sad:

But for the last few weeks, prayer has consistently been coming up as something I need to focus on to really reach the heights God wants to take me too.

I really want and NEED to get this prayer thing down!

Edited to add: I started reading "How to Hear From God" by Joyce Meyer this past week and in one of her chapters she states, "The devil knows that condemnation and shame keep us from approaching God in prayer so our needs can be met and we can once again enjoy fellowship with God."

This has given me the motivation to puch harder towards a consistent a rich prayer-life. :yep:

we are twins LOL. He is saying the same thing to me. I am newly divorced but being celibacy is a know brainer!! God is good!!

freecurl · Nov 4, 2011

I love this thread, thanks for sharing sisters.
For me, it would be learning to trust God completely, not letting fear be such a stronghold over me. Also, to learn how to receive his blessings...I feel so weird, vulnerable and exposed, but grateful when good things happen for me.
There are so many things that he is dealing with me now. This is all I can articulate at this time.

mango387 · Nov 6, 2011

The whole saved by grace versus works concept
Having the attitude of a servant
Self-control

hair_rehab · Nov 6, 2011

Learning to be more a little more like Mary and a little less like Martha. Sometimes I take on too many tasks, often because I have not learned how to say "no" to people and I end up feeling too tired to pray or study the word through the week like I should.

I'm also dealing with trusting God when it comes to finances and relationships.

lilanie · Nov 10, 2011

To trust in Him and Him only... The rejections (men, schools, fulltime jobs) are getting to be really really discouraging and causing me to doubt my worth to others besides my mother... (i know that is horrible and the wrong attitude to take, but it's my disposition today @ 943amPST)

JessieLeleB · Nov 10, 2011

I'm dealing with trusting God through the good and bad, alot going on with school, job and car issues and I'm like God is punishing me mind set! I need to trust in God that if he closes a million doors at once he will open a million and one, on his time and not mine, lean not to my own understand...

loolalooh · Mar 2, 2012

Patience. He has been dealing with me on this for quite a while.

The interesting thing is that my grandmother named me "patience". I feel like God is working on me to live up to that name.

What is God dealing with you on at this time?
