Experience teaches me that when my nest starts to become uncomfortable, then flying time is coming. God is patient and loving, yet the longer I delay my flight the more uncomfortable my nest becomes. It reminds me of when the mother bird pushes her baby out to fly for her own good, so that she can become what she was destined to be. God also encourages my growth at times through discomfort in my present circumstances.
Now this does not stand alone, because God will also be speaking to our hearts, but sometimes we put in the ear plugs and tune him out with our busy schedules and he has to get our attention. Through prayer and being still, we can know what God wants us to do. Are we listening, asking, praying, and trusting?
I have learned to pray this daily prayer. "Lord open and close the doors where you would have me go, help me to know your will for my life, speak to my heart, guide and direct my footsteps for your glory, in Jesus name I pray".
If we sincerely, humbly ask for God's guidance he will guide us in a path that only he could provide, and when the rough spots come, we will be encouraged on our journey that he has planned for us. Rest assured, "He is working all things for our good, to them that love the Lord and are called according to his purpose".
