How To Respond To God's Silence When He Is Reshaping Your Life

By Ann Miller


Life is full of ups and downs so when next you are depressed, do not think you are the only one who has gotten into trouble. The wisest man, King Solomon, stated in the Bible that there is nothing new under the sun. This means that the condition you are presently passing through now has been faced by someone else. If God allows troubles come to you, chances are that He is more interested in reshaping your life with it. Drawing close to Him in prayers and reading the Bible will help a lot.

You can employ different ways to read the Bible during this time. One of them is through the use of a devotional. If you use a devotional, you are eager to see the next day so that you can have a clearer picture of how a story or admonition ended. Going through the writer's commentaries will also help to build your faith in God the more.

It will be better if you make it a routine. Find a convenient time to read the Bible every day. If you do this consistently, you will feel bad any day you were so busy that you couldn't meet up with having fellowship with God.

If going to the church early in the morning every day will not alter your activities, then you are encouraged to do so. Apart from the chance to read the Bible there, the priest's prayers for you will help to reshape you. You will start to see positive changes which will remain as long as you continue to be in God's presence.

Apps for phones now make reading God's word easier. Some of them keep popping up Bible verses on your screen while others send the verses every day at a particular time. Some apps also have bible passages for different situations people face in life. For example, in times of lack, you can see what God wants you to know at that time.

When you want to read the Bible, make sure you start and end with prayers. When reading it, take down notes so that you can get back to the lessons during the day. Sometimes, people unknowingly go through the scriptures that help them to overcome some particular challenges that come their way during the day.

Subscribing to daily emails will also ensure that you don't fall short of the required dosage of God's word for you. The email may also contain real-life stories of people who applied the scriptures and got help. Their stories further explain that whatever you may be passing through, God can use it to reshape you. An example is the story of Job in the Old Testament.

The conclusion of the matter is that it is unacceptable to give up even in times of trials. When you consider trials as an important tool to reshape your life, just be assured that in the midst of the battles, God is there to save you. Listening to the pastors, reading God's word always and praying continuously are sure ways to overcome any challenge at all.
