God is always at work the psalmist tells us he never takes a nap or doses off he's on a mission making sure his children have all they need for a blessed life but what do you do when you can't see him working in your life when it seems like nothing great is happening and your life's on a confusing path as the saying goes the darkest hour is often just before the dawn those tough moments those trials and tri ulations you face they might just be signs that God's getting to work when it feels like everything's
falling apart that's when God is quietly working behind the scenes all you need at such a moment is a bit of patience to steer your life back on track before we continue make sure to subscribe salvation is not just a one-time deal it's like a golden ticket to a whole package of blessings the key unlocks the door to all the good things life and godliness offer but sometimes it doesn't seem that way your finances might be a mess with debts everywhere your mind cluttered with worries your health both physical and mental could be in disarray
and you might wonder where are these blessings they talk about well in those moments you're in a vulnerable place the enemy can sneak in if you're not careful taking advantage of your vulnerability they'll try to lead you away from where you can receive God's blessings so hold on have faith and stay strong even when it's tough for God has not forgotten you beloved always remember that God is tirelessly working on your behalf never forget that even when you can't see it moreover not all blessings are visible some blessings are so so massive far beyond the
daily Gifts of safety love and care we receive from God they are blessings capable of changing the entire course of your life but here's the catch you need to get ready for them just like when you prepare your house for a special guest clearing up the mess getting new flowers and curtains and even giving your Interiors a makeover your life needs some tidying up too to make room for the substantial blessings God is about to bestow upon you now preparing clearing and cleaning aren't always easy fun if the house could talk it might tell you
to ease up on the dusting banging and Plastering but you're doing it with the House's best interest at heart so it can host an honored guest in a similar but grander way God is working in you to make you worthy of the blessings he's bringing this process won't always always be a walk in the park so you must recognize the signs and not push yourself out of what he's doing the Bible tells us that God desires a else for you to thrive and be in good health just as your soul prospers this statement covers every
facet of your life and reflects God's boundless love for you God doesn't want to see you suffer or struggle for any reason look at the Bible and how he guided the Israelites toward the promised land he wanted them to be ready before they could inherit the land but they spent 40 years because they didn't cooperate there was a specific State they needed to reach for him to know they were prepared for that blessing and they didn't quite get there now let me ask you this are you cooperating with God's plan or are you too busy
complaining doubting his power and grumbling as the Israelites did back in the day let's take a a closer look at Hannah's story most of us know about her struggle with delayed childbirth and how she prayed at Shiloh leading to the birth of her son Samuel but there's more to her tale than that at the start Hannah didn't have and she envied her co-wife who did she cried whenever her husband's other wife panina upset her but did you notice something she wanted a child for the wrong reason to prove that she wasn't bared you see God
wouldn't Grant her a child just to boost her ego the Book of James sheds light on this aspect of God James 43 when you ask you do not receive because you ask with wrong motives that you may spend what you get on your pleasures when you seek blessings from God driven by your desires and lust with the sole intention of satisfying your Cravings be prepared not to re receive an answer to that prayer that's exactly what happened to Hanah what makes her story more unique is that the Bible mentions it was God who prevented her
from having a child primarily because she was still wrapped up in her selfishness and self-importance it's a powerful reminder that your motives and the state of your heart matter when waiting for God's blessings after her transformation Hannah reached a point where having a child was no longer about her she was so broken she promised to dedicate her child to God the same Hannah who used to get upset when pan mocked her didn't react when Eli accused her of being drunk she had become humble and god- centered only then was she truly qualified to Bear the
great prophet Samuel preparation is crucial if you want to receive God's blessings the Bible tells us that God can do far more than you can ask or even imagine by his power working within you and When God says it you can trust he can do it so why not let his power work in You by trusting his love for you beyond your wildest imagination remember your current situation is not your final destination it's just a step on the journey and that road leads to God's blessings for you you can't skip the road you have to
go through it if you truly want the blessing that awaits at the end what do the scriptures say about prep caring for blessing Psalm 3119 says because you love the Lord God is going to bring you into what he's already prepared you've honored God you've been faithful and now you're not going to have to find the blessings the blessings are going to find you now since you know that God prepares you before granting major blessings it's important to recognize the signs that indicate you're in a season of preparation what are these signs well they might
not be things you've paid much attention to but they are happening around you once you understand these signs you can examine your life and see if they are present in your journey here are seven signs that indicate God is preparing you for a significant blessing number one intense oppositions and challenges while you've likely faced challenges at various points in your life when God is preparing to bless you you'll encounter many more Fierce challenges in fact the devil won't hold back this time as well he may launch special attacks on you during this period everything will
frustrate you your challenges would make you question what you've done to deserve such hardships remember John 1010 says the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy I have come that they may have life and have it to the full that should be your consolation when facing challenges it might feel like the devil has assigned his entire Army of Darkness to make you stumble they'll do their best to erode your faith and make you doubt God's faithfulness during this season as well people will betray you you might even lose your job home and things
you hold dear May slip away you might receive discouraging medical reports or a loved one could end up in the hospital this season might feel like David's description of walking through the valley of the shadow of death because it's going to be indeed dark however when things like this happen it's a clear sign that God is preparing something significant for you and it's about to come your way number two increased faith in God the intense opposition and challenges you face during this period can have two profound effects on you it's a critical juncture where you
either start doubting God's abilities and give in to the mounting pressure or your faith in God experiences a remarkable shift this is when you find yourself with no other option but to spend time with God because it feels like everyone else is against you and God remains your sole Ally you'll find yourself dedicating more time to prayer and studying the word of God your hunger for God's presence intensifies and your prayer life deepens it's not just about asking God for material things but your prayers start reaching a deeper level during this time you will get
to know God more profoundly and as you learn more about him your faith begins to flourish it can grow to a level that surpasses human understanding a level where you ruggedly trust in God it's the kind of faith that allows you to jump into the ocean at God God's command even if you can't swim when your faith reaches this extraordinary level it's a clear sign that God is preparing you for a Monumental blessing to receive it you must wholeheartedly believe in it number three God takes harmful people and things away from your life God wants
to position you at your best before sending blessings your way he might need to remove certain people and F your life it's a time when you might lose friend hands and connections some may walk away clarifying they want nothing to do with you others might hurt you deeply perhaps even betraying your trust and God might ask you to cut ties with them or you might naturally outgrow them due to the spiritual growth God Fosters in your life however God chooses to do it the ultimate goal is to remove toxic influences that could hinder your progress
allowing you to move at a pace that that will lead you to receive your blessings number four God seems silent or far away this might be the toughest stage on your journey to receiving your blessing it's one thing to face all the challenges and adversities when you can still feel God beside you holding your hand reassuring you that everything will be okay but it's an entirely different experience when you can't sense his presence anymore when he seems silent your prayers feel like they're falling on dead Fe even after hours of prayer and spending time in
his presence you don't see him moving as you blank they are all clear indications he is busy crafting out something that will leave you speechless when he unveils it of course nobody likes to be disturbed when busy honestly this season can be incredibly challenging think about how Jesus must have felt on the cross when he cried my God my God why have you forsaken me that was the Pinnacle of suffering for him yet the father wasn't there to comfort him mind you after he overcame Satan in the wilderness the Bible recorded that the Angels Came
to minister to him but at that point on the cross No Angel was there to offer Solace it must have been agonizing but it was all part of the process for greater glory you might be going through that very season right now where it feels like you can't sense God's presence and you're wrestling with a sense of aloneness but remember it's just a feeling not a fact God is always with you even in the darkest of times just because you can't see it doesn't mean he's not there everything you're going through is a test a
preparation for the blessings on their way so if it seems like God is no longer listening to your prayers take heart because that's a sign that you're closer to your blessings than when you first began hold on and continue to trust God for he will never abandon you or forsake you he has made that promise and he won't break his word no matter what unfolds number five doors start closing to receive your blessings you need to be in the right place in preparation God might begin closing doors that lead you astray the devil might have
opened some doors to confuse you and obstruct your path to where God intends you to be during this phase God will start shutting those wrong doors it's an act of his love and even though you might not fully understand it watching those doors close can be challenging yet as you trust in God you will eventually appreciate him for closing the doors that weren't right for you and setting you on the path to the right things in your life number six clear instructions sometimes there are specific actions you need to take to prepare for the blessing
however if you don't know these actions how can you follow them this is why another sign that God is preparing you for a significant blessing is that he will start giving you unusual and perhaps unfamiliar instructions others around you might not have received such instructions before but because your situation is unique it will require great trust from you to obey those instructions and not miss what God has prepared for you number seven God reveals the purpose for your pain this is often the last sign that will preced your a breakthrough or it may even come
alongside it even after you've prayed you might not understand why everything in your life it's essential to realize that it's not your place to question God or demand explanations many people make the mistake of feeling entitled to an explanation from God for everything happening in their lives they approach each phase with an air of arrogance however God doesn't owe anyone an explanation those who demand explanations often end up discouraged and may perceive God as Unfaithful but let this be clear God is Not Unfaithful nor is he careless he plans everything meticulously in your life understand
and settle in your heart that if it didn't ultimately work out for your good and His glory it would wouldn't happen as long as you're not disobeying God's will you can rest assured that your life is turning out for good with that said when your blessing is right at your door you begin to understand why you had to endure everything you did you start to comprehend why you had to wait seven long years before the perfect person arrived you grasp the reasons behind that job loss and why God Blocked your path to a specific school
or city however this understanding usually Dawns when the blessing is about to enter your life not at the beginning of your trials that's why it's crucial to keep trusting God and holding on to his promises even when everything around you seems dark and you can't see your way out trust that your blessing will come at his perfect time so as you journey through different seasons in your life instead of wallowing in self-pity consider what God might be trying to take teach you ask yourself even though this isn't where I wanted to be what lessons can
I learn what is God trying to teach me through this situation with this mindset you won't spend too long in the waiting room you'll learn the lessons God wants you to learn along the way and you'll make progress don't be careless with the time between where you are and where you want to be this time is for you to prepare for what God God has in store and until you're prepared the blessing won't arrive perhaps you're trusting God for children and praying fervently but if you know nothing about raising Godly children if you don't understand
how to address their emotional needs or if you're carrying baggage from your childhood that might impact your children negatively God wants to address all these concerns he desires to guide you through a healing process so that when he eventually blesses you with a child you'll be well equipped to raise them in his ways but at times it may seem like God isn't answering your prayers instead of getting anxious about your situation start preparing for your breakthrough open yourself to God and let him do whatever is necessary to shape you into the ideal vessel for His
blessings now let's pray together heavenly father I thank you because you are continually working everything out for my good I understand that the challenges and intense opposition I've been facing are part of your plan for me I choose to trust in you I choose to rely on you I choose to hold fast to you until your blessings fully manifest in my life I know that the enemy seeks to steal kill and destroy but you have come to offer me Abundant Life Lord I thrive in the Abundant Life you have prepared for me I cling to
your outstretched hand and have faith in your promises thank you for guiding me through the seasons of preparation help me follow through with the process until I get to the right state to receive your blessings I will not get discouraged because of everything I have to endure rather my confidence will remain in the power of your unfailing word your word says in 1 Corinthians 2:9 however as it is written what no eye has seen what no ear has heard and what no human mind has conceived the things God has prepared for those who love him
father I am willing to endure whatever comes my way now in the hope of what lies in the future I fix my Gaze on the things that are not seen for the things that are seen are temporary but the Glorious future you have in store for me surpasses human comprehension Lord please do everything necessary for me to receive all my blessings I am cooperating with you work on my heart cleanse my desires and motives and align them with your will for my life take away any desire that doesn't align with your plan and help me
maintain pure desires for what you want me to have as I experience your signs working in my life I won't grow weary in the waiting room I will wait on you and like job I will declare all the days of my appointed time I will wait until my change comes I trust you to turn my situation around for good and may everything in my life end in Praise through all the ups and downs the highs and lows help me hold on to my faith regardless of what unfolds keep my faith anchored in your word as
