Illusions

Dear Lord,

You know I was eager to get advice and had been looking forward to it - and I was greatly disappointed. I had an illusion that her advice would save me and bring some understanding but it brought condemnation,more frustration and a bitter taste of failure. You have seen it before; me trusting in people to make things right. And you have seen the disappointment more than once before also.

So I’m just placing this in your hands again Lord, and ask for help more than ever.  I value the wisdom of people you send in my way but first of all I need you to lead every step of the way and I need to trust your guidance even when there is only silence.

In this case it isn’t easy to see the answer to all my question marks. I’m looking for a solution and I would appreciate if you gave me a sign what to do or where to go or where to find an answer.  

Protect me from becoming disillusioned and give me patience to believe there will be an ending to my problem.

Despite my disappointment in man  you have never disappointed me, dear Lord. You are trustworthy no matter what happens and I'm so grateful for that.

In Jesus name

Amen
