Do you have faith in Heavenly Father to submit to his will? To be ok with the fact that it may not be his timing for what you want?
Since I converted in February the verse in Mosiah 3 has rang true so much in my life.
becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.
Are you willing to accept that it may not be heavenly fathers timing? Are you ok with that? I am reminded of Jesus when he went to the garden to pray. I did a scripture study with Ant Gawler and we read about how Jesus prayed to Heavenly Father to take this task away from him but only if it is Heavenly a Fathers will.
And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
I think the hardest thing is knowing that it's not Heavenly Fathers timing for me to have an eternal companion. It's something that I know a lot of us struggle with. For me it's leading that I need to submit to Heavenly Father and his timing and not be that bratty child who stomps her feet and says NO! I want it NOW. I can't be like Verica Salt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I need to trust in heavenly Fathers timing.
It means I can still pray for it. After all Jesus prayed multiple times to confirm that he needed to submit to Heavenly Fathers will.
It's hard. But I know my prayers are going to change. I need to learn to thank Heavenly Father for his timing. I need to thank Him for his timing and learn to submit to it.
I just wanted to share with you my ramblings at 5 am that Heavenly Father woke me up to read this Artical and then ponder it. Please enjoy reading it here.
