New Doors

 God knows our needs, so He knows what doors to open and close. There is a peace in knowing God is in control. God's ways are higher and better than our ways.

"18 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. 19 For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." (Genesis 18:18-19 NIV)

Timing

To trust in a higher authority comes from realizing God knows all our days, He knows what we need to know and do not need to know. God is someone to trust because He is faithful in fulfilling His promises. 

“He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.” (Acts 1:7 NIV)

“9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”

(2 Peter 3:9 NIV) 

“10 Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.”(Isaiah 54:10 NIV) 

19 God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?

(Numbers 23:19 NIV)

Patience

The goal to reach higher and to a better place takes time. The time is not right away. It is to accept how things are now and make the most out of it until the situations improve. 

Romans 8:28New International Version (NIV)

"28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose."

Motivation

My desire for better things in life is my motivation to pursue my dreams. Motivation is the willingness or the determination to take action. To be reminded of my dream encourages to move forward: "But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever" (Psalm 52:8 NIV).

Challenges

Situations are there to change people. It is also to give a purpose every day. It is to accept it until the lesson is learned: "24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone" (James 2:24 NIV).

Prayer is the Answer

Asking God for answers through prayer. It is to put faith in God and to believe anything is possible with Him. It is a direct link to Him. "12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer" (Romans 12:12 NIV).

The Way

The light illuminates in the darkness. Today in this place is the light always within reach. In other words, peace is plausible. Walking in wisdom is the light. The LORD makes our way straight.
"29 Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe" (Proverbs 28:26 NIV).
