Day# 3 Collaborating, walking with God

If God has a plan for us, a good plan, a plan for happiness, we must collaborate with Him to make it come true.

The more you collaborate with Him, the more you will discover this plan.

Don't despise small beginnings. The path before you is a long one. It is the first steps that are the most difficult.

Crossing the valley of the shadow of death is done one step at a time. Decide to commit yourself to walk according to God's guidance, one step at a time to the end.

If you break this process down into small steps, you will celebrate many victories before crossing the finish line!

Look back only to celebrate how far you've come.

I invite you to write down everything that God has done for you in order to nourish your faith and stimulate your gratitude.

The more progress you make, the more courage you will gain. 

You need others.

Ask for an outside opinion on your situation to get another perspective and see your blind spots.

Find Christians around you, who can encourage you. Avoid those who discourage you. 

Feed on God's promises and what He whispers to your mind.

God is the God of miracles, but everywhere in the Bible, when there are miracles, God collaborates with humans.

It is important that you listen to the Holy Spirit, for the way God has planned to lead you out of this situation is not necessarily conceivable with your reason.

For example, one widow had debts to the point that her children were going to be sold as slaves. God's plan was for her to gather together the vases from her entire neighborhood, and the Lord then multiplied the small jar of oil she had left at home. (2 Kings 4:1-7)

While prayer is crucial, prayer is not everything. You have to get moving.

For example, developing new friendships, reading a book about your life experience, learning to set limits with toxic relationships, learning to communicate, consulting a professional, going back to school.

Consider other options than just waiting passively for God's intervention. For example: look for another job, move, connect with new people to meet new friends...

Remember that God is the god of multiplication. He will multiply your efforts and speed up your walk.

Dear friend, it's time to lift up your head, take God's hand and start walking again.

I invite you to discover the audio guide 21 Days of Listening to God's voice. It is a prayer journey to learn to recognize God's voice. You can experience the first 5 days here.
