And, no it’s not because you’re sick to the point that you need to live on oxygen.

It’s simply because you feel you’re not productive enough. You feel blank, helpless and you crave for help from anywhere.

There’s a certain way it feels when it seems like your productivity is tied down. When it seems like it’s a tangled mess.
The more you try to be set free, the more you get tied down.

Then, you look around you. Everyone around you doesn’t seem tied down. They’re posting testimonies of their growth.

Reviews after reviews.
You coil within. You breathe harder. You feel choked.

‘Good for them,’ you say, yet you’re fighting jealousy so hard because it seemed like life chose you specifically to show ‘shege’ when it comes to being in the right spot to be more productive.

Do yourself a favour. Pause. Close your eyes. Breathe.

Then, yield to God. Take it one at a time.

You know, surrendering to the leading of God might look like nothing is happening –in the eyes of those who don’t see though.

With the leading of God, you won’t be too fast, you won’t be too slow, you’ll be exactly where you’re meant to be. It all boils down to trust.

It’s important for you to trust that your Father’s promises doesn’t fail like the promises of men.

Baby steps.
Mighty steps.

Just make sure you’re walking with God, just make sure you’re not walking alone. Even if you have goals and plans set for the next two years, and God isn’t walking with you leading and giving you ample strength, my guy, you’re walking alone.

It’s worse when you have no goals or plans set and still not walking with God.

Today, set time aside to present your plans and goals to God, of course, we know these plans come from God, because how else would you have thought of them?
God placed these goals in your heart, so today present them back to him and ask for his guidance and leading.

Should I run or walk with this plan?
Should I wait?
Do I have to talk to anyone or just let this be processed in the processing room?
Who do I need to learn from?

If you’ve been asked to wait, you need to be sure about what to do while you’re waiting. We are humans and there are tons of ideas our mind can present to us while waiting, and if our mind isn’t renewed by the Spirit, I can boldly say that 99 percent of those ideas aren’t what God expects from us.

Let’s cultivate the habit of not just running with a plan because it feels good in our head. It’s important to be in the right place at the right time. It’s important to be working on something at the time God wants you to. Give God the chance to lead you in the best way He can.

We’ve come to the end of today’s blog post, thank you for taking this walk with me.
