Shalom,


So much is going on right now and it's confusing for me! I need prayer that YHWH will help me exercise wisdom and figure out what to do. I'm trying to find property and get established but it seems like everything is working against me! I'm unsure of what to do! I guess I need prayer for wisdom, understanding, and the strength to do what I need to.

YHWH Bless you for taking the time to read this and pray!

Shalom Obadyah83
Everything is NOT working against you but you are working against everything.
YHWH has a plan and a path for you.
Have your dwelling place in the Now and pay brief visits to past and future when required to deal with the practical aspects of your life situation.
Always say "yes" to the present moment.
What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is?
What could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is.
Say "yes" to YHWH - and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.

Shalom

That sounds a bit too existential to me! If he/she stands there saying "Yes", what does that mean?

Shalom tedack
Not sure what you mean by existential
ex·is·ten·tial
1.pertaining to existence.

Thy will be done?
Everything in our lives is in YHWH's knowledge and works for our good. Right?
Not give us more than we can bear - right?
Then why do we resist everything that shows up here and now?
Do we trust that YHWH is in it?
How can we rejoice in tribulation?
Without accepting by faith that this is patience working in us?

Inner resistance is to say "no" to what is, through mental judgment and emotional negativity. It becomes particularly pronounced when things "go wrong," which means that there is a gap between the demands or rigid expectations of your mind and what is.
Surrender is a purely inner phenomenon. It does not mean that on the outer level you cannot take action and change the situation. In fact, it is not the overall situation that you need to accept when you surrender, but just the tiny segment called the Now.
IT is what it is.
For example, if you were stuck in the mud somewhere, you wouldn't say: "Okay, I resign myself to being stuck in the mud." Resignation is not surrender. You don't need to accept an undesirable or unpleasant life situation. Nor do you need to deceive yourself and say that there is nothing wrong with being stuck in the mud. No. You recognize fully that you want to get out of it. You then narrow your attention down to the present moment without mentally labeling it in any way. This means that there is no judgment of this moment.
Therefore, there is no resistance, no emotional negativity. You accept the moment.
It is what it is.
Then you take action and do all that you can to get out of the mud. Such action I call positive action. It is far more effective than negative action, which arises out of anger, despair, or frustration. Until you achieve the desired result, you continue to practice surrender by refraining from labeling it.

Hope this makes it a little clearer

I really like this! :-)
Sometimes when everything i do accomplishes nothing, that's how i start thinking, like i should just accept that i'm stuck and will just have to stay there. I try to persuade myself that for some reason I'm SUPPOSED to be there.

As Obadyah says, he's not sure WHAT to do. Obadyah, do you sometimes get the feeling that nothing you do works because He's trying to show you something? What do you do when you don't know what to do?

Pray and ask others to pray with/for you!
But you still need to get the situation fixed NOW, wonder how that works? I've seen miracles of provision, that makes it easier but not easy. Besides, sometimes He helps, sometimes He doesn't. What do you do to do the right thing when He DOESN'T?

James 1:5

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of Elohim, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

I am confident He will perform His word, so ask Him and I will ask Him on your behalf as well.

Glad you enjoyed that word - expect it to be followed by a very personal confirmation, an opportunity to practice and see if it is true!

What this says to me is if I get in a pickle and end up in anger, despair, or frustration, I am not likely to hear from YHWH the wisdom that I need to lead me through it triumphantly.

Shalom,

I would like to post here a reply. YHWH has blessed us and we have 10 acres were buying! The morning before we went to look I just gave up in my spirit, said to the Father "not my will but thine bee done." I thank you all for praying for me! We're going to close tomorrow and I pray everything goes well!

YHWH Bless!

It's amazing sometimes how He responds to that, isn't it?
