I Dialed 29:11 Today
Date: November 21, 2022
Time: 6:47 AMGreetings guys! It's another week, just ten days before November ends, it felt like November just came in and now it's waving goodbye! Do you feel like life is so fast-paced right now? I do!
As I have mentioned in my previous article, I get anxieties thinking about the future, and I believe most of us are feeling that way because we are human, we have no control over our future, I think it is humbling and so, as I was busy last night updating my online portfolio and account for applying as a freelance, I realized that I am also trying to take things into my own hand without submitting to my husband and the Lord.
The decision was due to the fact that my online grinds are not doing well, I badly wanted to earn my own money although I know my husband can support me, I am just used to having my own money and so I resorted to freelancing.
But today, the Lord humbled me as I read my devotional. I am busy with those things that I forgot to ask for His guidance and even the opinion of my husband. I forgot that He is my provider.
I think of the future like I am alone in my battles but thanks to Jeremiah 29:11, for when I thought that my plans are better, God has far better plans for me which I do not see right now. I know that I can earn through freelancing, I am looking for video editor jobs and virtual assistant but I have to be reminded that He is the source of all my needs and so I stopped today to ask forgiveness and told God my anxieties, laid down to Him the battles that are going on in my mind.
Do you find it hard to pray sometimes? I do! I think it's also our pride so I uttered words of apology and asked God to forgive me for my pride and my busyness. The good thing about praying is that it slows me down, when we read His words and speak to Him, it is very refreshing! He is indeed the water of life that quenches our thirst.
So, I had the courage to tell my husband about my plans after telling God about them. I am asking God that if it is His will that I may work as a freelance, that He would direct me to the right client with good and competitive pay.
It is not bad to ask God for those things, in fact, He said in His word that we must be specific too when asking Him just like when we are talking to our earthly father. He is good and He certainly knows our future so I rest upon His promise that He has plans for me, plans for welfare and He delights in giving me a future and hope!
I am relieved right now as I share this with you!
If you are like me who's having anxieties too like you feel you need to grind more, to work more, that you feel like life is mundane and dragging, talk to God, depend on Him, He is reliable and He knows every detail of your life, He listens and will answer our prayers according to His will and time.
Thanks for reading guys! God bless our Monday!

I have not prayed with intent for a long time.
