Praying for the Rhythm to My Blues
I’m not sure if I shared this, but over the past few months I’ve had very vivid dreams that have the potential to be stories. I’ve wondered if they are an indication of what I should be doing; however, one of my most recent mental nighttime journeys hit a little closer to home. It brought a personal question I’ve been pondering over to the forefront of my mind: “Is someone going to love me, or will I be alone for the rest of my life”?
A part of me wants to ask God this question, but there’s another part that fears the answer. Does that mean I already know my destiny, or is it something else entirely? Sometimes I wonder if I’m afraid of commitment and love. Other times, I think I may have rejected the one who was assigned to love me. Now that I think about it, I have another question I am hesitant about asking Him.
A few nights ago, I dreamed I was speaking at a seminar about marriage designed for single women. The speakers who spoke before me gave advice on “how to win a man,” but when it was my turn, I provided two scripture passages:
“Wherefore, if God so clothed the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?”
“Therefore, take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.”
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” - Matthew 33:30-34 KJV
“Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” - Psalm 37:4 KJV
I am certain my dream contains the answer to the question I listed as well as the one I didn’t utter. I believe my task is to shift my focus. Instead of using my energy inquiring, seeking, or wondering about tomorrow, I should pursue God and enjoy and appreciate what He gives me because He knows what I need and He will fulfill it as He choses.
