Daughters of God

Be careful what you wish for, be cautious about what you desire, be slow to decide what it is you want. The more you want something the harder you need to pray and ask God if it’s worth having or if He wants you having it at all.

More than not we desire to have something or someone so badly and then once we get it we realize not only was it not worth having but we wasted all that time wanting it.

When the desire to have something or someone becomes so strong that it’s all you can think about, pray for wisdom and the help to sift through your emotions and tap into your reason, be quiet and still, wait to hear the voice of God.

Learning to let go of the desire to have something or someone, after praying and hearing from God that you’re not to have it, will spare you much pain and ultimately bring you closer to Him, and that should be your heart’s one true desire over all.

We can not go back in time and erase the decisions we’ve made or change events that took place, like an eraser erases pencil on paper. We are forced to deal with the consequences of our choices forever.

Creating a habit of being careful and cautious as a teenager, will enable it to become second nature as you get older. Learning to seek God’s will and His infinite wisdom over your own will and desires will enable you to put your emotions in check and take the steps the Lord is directing you to take.

Evaluate what it is you’re desiring, create a check list to see if it is even worth going to the Lord in prayer. Ask yourself will this ’something’ or ’someone’ help or hurt my relationship God? If it’s a person, do they know the Lord? Will this person or thing take me away or bring me closer to God? How will investing time with this person or thing affect my relationship with God, my family and my friends? Will this person or thing put me in a position where I might compromise my morals, my beliefs, my Godly convictions?

If any of the answers result in “red flags” going up then stop wasting your time and energy! Don’t let your emotions completely control you. Although emotions are a God given necessity, you can’t let them interfere with Godly wisdom and direction. If you’re only riding the “emotional train” it will lead to crash and burn every time.

Seek the Lord incessantly and always remember when this all seems to hard or overwhelming it’s beneficial to seek Godly counsel from a trusted confidant.

I want to see only what the Lord has planned for you, because His plans are always good. Be cautious, be careful and choose wisely the company that you keep.

Remember, you’re Set Apart for His purpose,
