There aren’t many things that can compare to the feeling of crushed dreams.

Ok…there probably are. But that’s the point. Being unable to fulfill your hopes and dreams can overshadow everything in your life. It seems sooooo big!

And that disappointment can drive us to our knees.

But that’s exactly where we should be.

Time and time again I have found myself asking God “why?”

Why haven’t I been able to do this or that? Why have certain things just seem always out of reach?

In those moments I have wallowed in the pits of despair and despondency.

But no more.

If you look back at history, you’ll realize that God doesn’t throw people into a situation without preparing them first.

While you and I are so sure that we are ready, God knows that we probably aren’t.

So as tough as it may be, try to appreciate where you are at this point and learn from it.

There is something you need to get out of your current situation before God moves you into the next.

So today, if you wondering and wallowing, claim the following promises over your life and climb on out of those horrid holes.

1. God works all things for our good. Romans 8:28

2. God has amazing plans for us. Jeremiah 29:11

3. If we acknowledge God, He will direct us. Proverbs 3:6

Hang in there…trust in God’s timing.
