Am I Ready to Remarry?ಮಾದರಿ

Day 2 - Trusting God's Timing

I remember when I began dating. I would enter every new conversation with a man while carrying the same questions in my mind: "Could he potentially become my new husband?" and "Could he be the new dad for my son?" To state that this immediately put a high and unrealistic level of expectation on every interaction would be an understatement. What I eventually ended up doing was prioritising my own needs over what God intended for me.

I was so eager to find a husband that I wasn't allowing God to guide me or determine the right timing for that to happen. I chose to start my dating journey and seeking a new husband, but was that God's plan for me? Of course, it was as He knew my heart, and He had someone in mind for me. But what He wanted me to learn was to follow His timeline, not my own.

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1 "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens."

Reflect on the seasons of life and how they unfold according to God's masterful plan. Just as nature operates in cycles, your life's journey is divided into different seasons. As you consider the possibility of remarriage, remember that God's timing is always perfect. Place your trust in His wisdom and control, understanding that if a new partner is part of His plan for you, it will come to fruition at the right moment.

Reflection: Consider the times when you've witnessed God's perfect timing in your life. How can you develop a heart that patiently waits for His plan to unfold? Are there areas where you're struggling to surrender your timeline to God?

Prayer: Dear God, I acknowledge Your perfect timing in all things. I surrender my desire for a new relationship to Your timing and plan. Help me to trust that You know what's best for me. Teach me patience and give me the strength to wait on you. May Your will be done in my life, even if it doesn't align with my timeline. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
