Expecting God to move

I have several things in my life right now that I want to happen. But for the past few months, I have basically had the mindset of "I'm not going to get my hopes up so I don't get disappointed if these things don't happen". Today I realized that this approach is completely wrong.

James 1:6-7 says "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord."

Even thought I have wanted these several things in my life, I have still doubted. Mainly to avoid disappointment. But that's not what God wants me to do. If these things are really in His will, He has got it under control. He will provide in his timing, but more than that...I need to EXPECT Him to provide in His timing.

One of my favorite verses is Psalm 37:4: "Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart".
It's pretty simple. But I keep messing it up. He's got this.

So today, I will focus on taking delight in the Lord and expecting him to move!
