Continue to Pray


Women's Retreat.

Women at my church are wonderful. They are caring and seeking God. I love the women in my church. This year I was asked to lead out in Women's Ministry. I have tried my best but felt very discouraged. I know in my heart God wants so much more than I have been able to accomplish. It is not the desire, effort or work that is missing. It is being too busy. The women in my church, along with myself ; are just too busy to really get involved with working in the ministry. I don't feel angry, harsh or bitter at them. I am in the same boat. But I do wonder. Why do I have such a passion to lift God up and have so little knowledge of how to do that?

I do pray, and I seek. I invite other Christian women to join me; but my dear Women's Ministry remains the same. This is when I must continue to not be discouraged and overwhelmed. I must remain in prayer and continue to seek God's answer. My answers are empty. God knows the will of his heart. When I remain steady in prayer and doing what he has set out for me, I must trust he is still working. It may not be the way I think; but God will do his will. So I continue praying, may God do his will.
