Saying Yes in the Dark ness
PSAL MS
rather friendship with and support for the man who would wear it.
Imagine something you want so badly. And then think of your best friend living it instead. What
would be your internal and external response?

How do you cultivate a heart where you can truly rally around a friend who has everything you
thought should be yours—a marriage, a pregnancy, the job of your dreams?
We need to get to the point of trusting Christ enough to embrace the idea that He knows what
He’s doing. Our plans and dreams may be good….but His plan is perfect. Sometimes they don’t
make sense to us, but that doesn’t mean it’s not right. God does not make mistakes. He’s not about
to start with your life.
Spend some time in silence this week as you drive your car or do the dishes. Take away the
noise and distraction for a bit so you can be wholly listening to God’s quiet voice. Pray to Him
and search His heart as you release your expectations, dreams, and plans to Him. Live with open
hands, and take a moment to pray that you have a Jonathan in your life. Not only that, but pray
that you are a Jonathan to someone. Like Michal protected David so he could get to safety, you
also could be a safe place for friends when they need you the most. Shove all jealousy aside and
instead pray that the Lord would guide you and your friends toward His ultimate desire for your
lives.
