How can I help Father?  What particular situation is custom designed for my testimony, my talents, my hand as it is directed by your Spirit?  Is there something that I do particularly well, that I have always been gifted through Spirit to be specifically effective in its accomplishment?  Or am I to guided to a circumstance where you will ask me to take a leap of faith to demonstrate my willingness to serve when it costs the totality of self?  I see that it is less about knowing your will then being watchful and ready to act when your plan confronts me.  Teach me to have greater discernment about your prompting.

What then shall I do in the meantime Father?  Shall I mark time marching in place wearing a path or rut beneath my feet as I wait to be deployed for action?  Shall I ponder my worth until the enemy sponsors thoughts of inadequacy leading to darkness, self-loathing and depression?  Are there actions that I may take now that would put me in a place of preparedness, readiness and position to be especially useful at a time of calling?  I see that there are always people to be fed, loved, clothed, sheltered, taught and encouraged, even when it is not the time of my greatest testing, I must remember that I am not the only saint intertwined with your Will.  Perhaps there is one person I may meet today who has either never heard of Jesus, needs a deeper understanding or is ready to make a decision for eternity.  Teach me to see that one person who may need a kind word.

Why then do we wait so long Father?  Is it so that this travesty may play itself out, consuming, losing its energy through entropy until the entire mechanism teeters to standstill?  Why does evil prevail, and how can deception have so much authority over the minds of men that they are willing to kill and die for foolishness?  How can so many defy reason to torture others in the name of some political or urban campaign?  What hope is there in such faith place in evolution and the survival of the fittest?  I see now that this is the perfect environment for people to realize that the only hope in this world is Jesus.  We have been chosen to lead them to the truth by showing them the light of the world through our own eyes, hearts, love and testimony for You Father.  Teach me shine your light in dark places.
