I have started on a path I thought I was prepared to travel but when obstacles came I became confused if I was going in the right direction.   When we follow after God we need to be prepared to stop or continue on as we trust the leading of God. I am slowly learning not to be blown away by adverse circumstances.  As I spend time in God’s Word I know He is faithful to help me through whatever I need to face. 

Prepared

Be prepared, help comes from above.
Great is God’s provisions; watch for His love.
How are you to prepare you ask?
Look ahead and do not look back.
Set your face to reach your goal;
Know and trust God is of your life in control.
Forgive daily; every offence shed,
With a song of praise, forge on ahead.
Clear your heart and cleanse your mind.
Leave all preconceived ideas behind.
The air becomes foggy with the smoke of unfulfilled desire;
Throw them away into God’s eternal fire.
Allow new revelations to surface at each new days start.
With God’s assurance and proof He dwells in your heart.
Be prepared to hear the still voice within,
With full evidence the wisdom comes from Him.
Walk forward with purpose in your step.
Knowing with full confidence He is not finished with you yet.
Much lie ahead you are not yet able to see;
But to be fully prepared you must trust God is leading thee.

Ephesians 6:14-18
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
