Chapter 3 – Awakening – Part 3

All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded.
Exodus 35:10

Exercise 3: Trust in the Lord

Fill in the blanks with whatever comes to mind. Elaborate on one of your responses.

If I could trust in the Lord’s provision, I would … I don’t know. I try to trust. I try to do what I feel led to do and it goes nowhere. I do what I’m told. I do what I’m asked. I feel used with little glimpses of lovely.

If I could trust in the Lord’s provision, I would … I don’t know. I try to be creative. I try to do things that I am good at. But the opportunities are far and few between. I wait and I wait and I wait and little by little, it all gets whittled away.

If I could trust in the Lord’s provision, I would … I don’t know. I don’t know what that looks like. Where am I supposed to look? Who is going to help? Who is going to be willing to take me on? Before I self-destruct.

Am I crashed after my high? This is going to be a problem. I must have crashed and burned. That is what I feel like. Wreckage.

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.
Proverbs 16:3

Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not think to yourself that in the king’s palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews.”

Esther 4:13 (ESV)
