What do you do when you're in between?
Ask God to get you out.
WHO LIKES IT when life is unsettled, full of doubt, disrupted by problems? But since everyone has to deal with times like these, it's good to know that there's always something we can do to restore stability.
During those in-between times, prayer makes a difference. When praying, I've found it's important to be still—and to put indecision and fear out of thought. This way I'm able to receive the messages God has for me.
Because God created us good, it's natural to be calm and to expect good. For that same reason, it's not natural to be frantic, on edge, or in limbo. Finding any sign of good in your life and being grateful for it, regardless of how small it may seem, help bring your thought into line with God, who is the Giver of all good.
