Plateau (pla-teau)
Noun
1. an area of relatively level high ground.
2. a state of little or no change following a period of activity
Lately I feel as if I have reached a plateau with the Lord. But instead of it being a level HIGH ground I am stuck on, it feels like we are a little lower down.
It is not that I cannot feel his presence all around me because I know that he is near. It is not like I am distancing myself from him because in my head I am trying to do the complete opposite of that. I just don’t know what to do from here. It feels like a soft, hollow and stranded kind of feeling. Almost as if I have swam all the way to shore but now I don’t know where to call home.
Of course I have ideas of what I would like to do with my life or how I wish my life could be, but I seem to be lacking something very important. I do not feel motivation or God’s guidance.
I want to feel motivated to go back to school. I want to feel motivated to get a better job. I want to be motivated to take a stand for Christ. I want to be motivated to do something great, something that matters.
In church we are talking about One Matters. One Life matters. One love matters. One forgiveness matters. If that is absolutely true then God what can I do that matters to you. I want to ultimately make you happy but I cannot do that if I don’t know what you want me to do.
Do you want me to go back to school? Do you want me to even be a teacher? Do you want me to move to Florida? Do you want me to get plugged into the church more? JUST SHOW ME!
I know most people say that seeing isn’t believing but believing is seeing, but I am not asking for something as crazy and awesome as to see your face (although that would be amazing and I would totally love that) I just want a little sign, a little guidance, a little shove in the right direction... I want you to give me a compass and tell me which way to head in.
I am giving up on trying to find a guy to solve all my problems. I am giving up on searching for love. If it is meant to be it will happen. Right now, in this moment I just want to work towards you. I want to figure out what it is you want me to do with my life. I want to have faith. I want to trust in you with all my heart. I want to let go and let God. But in order for me to do that I need your help because I am afraid and I don’t know how. Please guide me and walk with me. Please help me figure out how I am supposed to serve you and walk with you. Please help my faith grow stronger each day. Please help me not to rely on feelings but to rely on my faith in your power.
There is power in the name of Jesus.
