God Provides

The more I seek you,
The more I find you.
The more I find you,
The more I love you.


The More I Seek You
Kari Jobe

As I grow in my faith, I experience God more and more. My relationship with God has grown tremendously over the past couple of weeks. I have stayed in constant prayer, and I have been praying till he answers my request according to His plan. Lately, I have mainly been praying for joy, patience, and strength. As I was reading my bible today I came across a verse in Colossians.

We also pray that you will be strengthened with his glorious power so that you will have all the patience and endurance you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father, who has enabled you to share the inheritance that belongs to God's holy people, who live in the light.
Colossians 1:11-12

God led me straight to this verse, to ensure me that he is going to answer my prayer. As I read this verse, God spoke to me and said, "Jess, keep waiting patiently, for I will provide you with the strength you need to push forward. I will fill you with joy." As I sat in amazement of what God was teaching me, I began to reflect on the idea of Him watching over me and holding me in his arms. How awesome is it that we have a God that loves us so much and who constantly blesses us? God is the patience, the strength, and the joy I need. God is working through the hard times, and bringing peace. God is going to provide if we remain faithful to Him.

Now that I am furthering my walk with Him and seeking Him more and more, I have found His presence all around me. Everywhere I look I see how God is working, and see His face. Sometimes it is hard to understand what He has planned, but those are the times I have found that I need to cling to Him and not let go.

God causes all things to work together 
for the good of those who love Him.
Romans 8:28
