Slow it Down (Day 4)

As I take on a new journey in my life I realize how fast I want things to move. I was reading in my devotion to day where Daddy simply said:"Slow down. If you you believe that my timing is perfect and you trust my will, then you will not create your own timing." WOW! I create my own timing all the time, not giving Daddy time to do anything, especially since my martial status change. I mean to go from a consistent partner to now being back in this "dating game," has made me feel some kind of way. Can I be real...so as soon as I got the call that my divorce was finalize I went on every online dating site to setup a profile to start dating again. But can I tell you Daddy has a sense of humor. The guys that like my profile were not up to my standards, or even lack something. Now I don't have outrages standards, but I do know what I want... I digress...Because I know you are wondering what does that have to do with your prayer journey...Well everything...here I am trying to find a replacement for the person I just divorce because I don't like being alone, when that's not in Daddy's timing... I need to slow down!!! How many times have you moved in anxiousness because you felt that you were ready? How many times have you said to Daddy I got this cause I know what I want and I learn the lesson on how to identify it? Can I say I have lost count. The devotion today really hit home. Because I have truly been going full speed when it comes to wanting a relationship. I mean I went back to ex's to try to restart something.. That wasn't right because they were ex's for a reason. Then I went from ex's to just being aggressive with men... asking for their number telling me how I felt....Where they do that at??? I live by the scripture that says "A man that findth a woman, findth a good thing, and obtain favor from the Lord." (Proverbs 18:22) Can I tell you that I am trying to be that favor to my husband, my man, my covering... but I can't be that when I am operating in my timing...I have to slow down...Not just with wanting to date again and be in a relationship, but in my ability of wanting to move from one state to another....wanting a better job....My big one is wanting kids....I have truly went to the extreme on that...to the point I had a sperm donor...because I felt that my biological clock is and was ticking...But I need to slow down... Today in my prayer time I realize that my Daddy is a promise keeper...If my divorce was finalized when I wanted it to be, then I couldn't be in a place of true peace at this moment about a new beginning. If I had gotten pregnant when I wanted to get pregnant I would be struggling with how I would pay for the medical expense of having a baby and moving to another state...Do you see where I am going?? Simply put when you slow down you get to experience Daddy's perfect timing... As a matter of fact that's what I want to always experience Daddy's perfect timing with his presence and purpose for me...But to do so I have to slow down...We have to slow down

Prayer: Daddy we are always in a hurry to what life demands of us. Whether it's arriving to a job on time, doing things for our family, spouse, or kids, we are always in a hurry. Daddy today we surrender our time to you... We will be slow to speak, to move, to even think... we will seek you in everything that we do that we can be in your perfect time and that your presence can grant us the wisdom that we need. We know that what we think is slow and long is real fast and on time. We honor you today Daddy and we say thank you in advance for the greatness of your time and the slowing of ours. In Jesus Name, AMEN!
