Sometimes we can do all the right things as believers and still feel like we made the worst possible decision even when we felt that God helped us along the way and had a hand in getting us to that point.
This happened to me recently when after a long year of the worst job that I believe I ever had, decided it was time to move on. This job by the way was an answer to prayer to begin with. We just didn't get it. This job was all my family and I had asked God for and more. The only drawback was that it was night shift. But in spite of that we soldiered on. But that soldiering didn't last long. I struggled. My family struggled. It had become a noose around our necks. So we began praying and seeking God constantly. It was on every breathe. It was very hard to stick with it and see God in it all. We had major doubts with no visible light at the end of the tunnel.
Then after a long years battle, job opportunities started flowing steadily in. Then we immediately changed our prayers to request from God that he eliminate all the wrong possibilities. Because NOTHING is more important than being in His will. And it wasn't long until He answered all the prayers we had prayed and everything turned around. We have seen a lot of things that changed as a result of that time in the valley.
It was in this valley that me family and I clung to God like never before. Admittedly, there were times when we grew weary and wanted to give up. But we just knew He had a purpose. We tried to have unyielding faith to get us through to the next leg of our journey.
