@ruthichie: “You may not be in the season you wanted, but you can still trust the God who holds every season.” Sometimes we become anxious because we want to know when things will change. When will the pain end? When will the prayer be answered? When will the opportunity come? When will I finally feel okay? Ecclesiastes reminds us that life is made up of different seasons—and not every season is meant to last forever. There is: * a time to weep and a time to laugh * a time to mourn and a time to dance * a time to keep and a time to let go * a time to be silent and a time to speak * a time to plant and a time to harvest ❤️ For someone who is hurting “Maybe you are in a season you never asked for. But being in a difficult season does not mean that God has abandoned you. There is a time for this season, and there will also be a time for another season. You don’t have to understand everything today. Sometimes faith simply means trusting God one day at a time.” And Ecclesiastes 3:11 gives another powerful thought: “He has made everything beautiful in its time.” Notice the words: “in its time.” Not necessarily according to our time. We often pray, “Lord, make it beautiful now.” But God may be saying, “Trust Me with the process.” A painful chapter may not make sense while we’re living in it. But we can trust that the Author sees the whole story while we only see the page we’re currently on. 🕊️ A chaplain’s reflection “Don’t judge your whole life by the season you’re currently experiencing. Winter is not the whole year. A difficult season is not the whole story. If today is a season of tears, let yourself cry. If today is a season of waiting, allow yourself to wait. If today is a season of healing, give yourself permission to heal. You don’t have to rush God’s timing or compare your season with someone else’s. God is present in every season.” And perhaps this can connect beautifully with your earlier reflection about discipleship: Information can tell us that God has a plan. Discipleship teaches us to trust Him even when we don’t understand the plan. That is one of the beautiful lessons of Ecclesiastes 3: we may not control the seasons, but we can learn to walk with God through them. #trusttheprocess #pastoralpsychotherapy &chaplaincy #sharejesuslove🫶

I'm exactly at this phase of my life. A year of waiting for a career breakthrough has been very exhausting especially if it's a major shift and knowing that I'm also getting old. I didn't totally give up, but there was a point where I stopped asking and begging for it to come. I've been surrendering everything to God for months now and it has become very peaceful. My hopes are still here, still praying, but definitely not forcing things to happen in how I view my own timeline anymore. I stopped complaining about the delays and even quit comparing how others can easily get what they want to achieve, then genuine happiness for them came and peace of mind for me. Our dreams may be delayed for a lot of us, but HIS better plans for us will come at the right time no matter how tiring and long the waiting season is.

Hayyyy this is me right now, 2 years of trying and wanting a baby, had 2 miscarriages. Sobrang gustong gusto ko magkaanak before. Pero ngayon parang hindi na ganon ung eagerness ko magkababy. Sinabi ko to sa asawa ko. Minsan meron sa part ko na gusto ko pa din naman hay ewan. Need ko muna ayusin sarili ko. Para pag ibinigay nya na at tama na ang panahon ay yun na talaga. Alam kong sobrang worth it yung time na un.🙏

God works in mysterious ways, every time i pray for some one..it happens right away..nakaka amaze, pero the times na ikaw yung hihiling para sa sarili mo..parang antagal ng waiting m..pero wag ka mawawalan ng pag asa kasi iba yung plano ni Lord para sayo, the "very Best.. than what you want.".🙂 Trust the process🥰

When I decided that I would let Him give it to me on the right time everything falls into place. This is correct I still want it but I am waiting silently. 🥺

Thank you for the reminder. 🙏Ang dami kong iyak this past few months. Asking god, bakit ganito? Bakit ganyan? Lagi kong dasal na ipagkaloob sakin ang ganito, pero wala parin. My mga araw na sinasabi ko sa kanya na sya na ang bahala pero later on magplilease ulit ako sa dasal ko na un, super tinetest ni lord ang faith ko sa kanya right now. 🙏🙏

Exactly at this phase of life, always praying for something to happen. To be like this or have that one.
Thanks for reminding us to change the way of praying and let things happen as it happens.
