Loving the Questions November 27, 2023

“Be patient with all that is unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not seek the answers that cannot be given you because you wouldn’t be able to live them.” - Anonymous

Women are good at asking questions. We want to know how things work, why they work, and who is responsible if they don’t work. We have inquiring minds and that’s a gift from God.

Sometimes the questions we have, especially those about our life purpose and direction, or those about unanswered prayers, can feel so important we grow restless waiting for the answers. We wait, but we don’t always wait patiently. We wait and we worry.

When worry enters in, then all we think about is the future. The future is just a few minutes past where we are now, but have not noticed where we are because we need answers.

Be intentional. Look at the questions you have for God and speak them, write them or pray them aloud. Explain your desire for closure or for answers. Then stop everything, surrender the questions at the cross and give God a chance to answer.

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” - Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV

Let us pray: Father, thank You for hearing our prayers and for letting us ask questions. Help us to rely on You for the answers and to be at peace in the process. Father God, hear our prayers of intentions from today, from our prayer wall and for any unmentioned prayers in our hearts.. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
