Isaiah 40:31 But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Let go of the control, trust and have faith in the Lord. Completely letting Him provide for you and He will not let you down. Follow His heart and He will provide you with His strength to dispel the darkness.

Recently, my fiance and I (in preparation for our marriage) sat down and wanted more faith in our lives. We were in a place where we didn't necessarily need faith (disclaimer: as humans we always need God, but we can live lives ignoring our need for Him). So, we decided to change. We prayed for direction. God didn't say go, He said stay, but stay here. So, we began looking for a new apartment in a less secure neighborhood that was near our Church. Our Church is in downtown Charleston (SC) and it is surrounded by neighbors crying out for Jesus - college students who need more than drinking, young professionals that need a deeper meaning in life, a deep and scared racial divide, homelessness, crime, etc. The Lord provided a beautiful place with a nice kitchen, near a park, near a housing project, near our church, on a quiet road, entertaining space, pretty much everything we wanted and God put in out hearts to do.

God is providing in stages, and I know and hope that He isn't done yet; but until that I day I rest in His provision and promise. "[We] will soar high on wings like eagles. [We] will run and not grow weary. [We] will walk and not faint."
