I Miss God- Endurance

I've recently begun training for my first ever 5k. I've never been a runner, so I'm surprised at how easily I seem to be tolerating the training... walk a little run a little... By the end of the week I'm supposed to run 20 minutes straight. I don't see how that will be possible, but I'm guessing since it's part of the training somehow my body is going to cooperate. I was pondering all of that this morning and wouldn't you know this verse was forwarded to my inbox:

For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.

~ James 1:3

I thought for sure by now (four years in) God would have reset the way he speaks to me. I desperately wish things were different but for today... I'm chalking it up to my growing endurance.

I Miss God - Keep on

Sometimes I find it hard to "Keep On". But, then I read things like this and know somehow I'll come out on the other side of this. I wish it was sooner than later... but for now, I'm trying to be patient, believe, and keep asking.


I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.

~ Psalm 40:1, NLT

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him

~ Hebrews 11:6, NLT |

Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

~ Matthew 7:7, NLT

I Miss God - Don't Abandon Me

The Lord will work out his plans for my life - for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don't abandon me, for you made me.

~ Psalm 138:8, NLT

I Miss God - Surely.

I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me.

~ Proverbs 8:17, NLT

I Miss God - Still.

I can barely believe that it's been three years since my original post titled "I Miss God". It feels so much longer than that now. And if you're missing God too, you know exactly what I mean.


"Hold My Heart" by Tenth Avenue North

How long must I pray, must I pray to you?
How long must I wait, must I wait for you?
How Long til I see Your face, see You shining through?
So many questions without answers, Your promises remain.

I love that he says "waiting is being content with being discontent." Yep, that's me. I miss God - still.

I Miss God - Working on an answer...

Found this verse particularly intriguing. Maybe God is all ready working on an answer...

I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!

~ Isaiah 65:24, NLT

I Miss God - But, believe I'm not abandoned.

Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.

~ Psalm 9:10, NLT
