AM: I’ve been having trouble sleeping. I wake up at 4 or 5 am. Maybe God wants me in the chapel, because that’s what I sometimes do when I wake up early. 

Betty: That could be. I remember for many years I woke up at 3:00 am, and I would just start praying. And then, as time went on, I couldn’t wake up at 3:00 am anymore. So, I figured, “Ok, whatever the Lord was doing is finally done.” 

AM: It feels like that’s where God has me right now. But then, my mind can wander and think, “What am I gonna do…”

Betty: Ok, now what is it that I taught you that would stop you going there? 

AM: You said not to go in the future. But if I needed to, I should start considering what I would do. 

Betty: Okay. How can you learn better timing on that? 

AM: Wait until it becomes a reality. 

Betty: Okay, but also it’s that anxiety that wants you to start thinking about it. One of the keys is if you lose your sense of peace when you’re doing the thing, then you know you’re out of the manner, timing, and intensity in which the Lord is working. Because if the Lord was asking you to do some planning in that area, it would be done with peace. But if you find yourself starting to go into anxiety when you do it, then you know it’s not the right time. Because if the Lord is moving us, there should be peace. So, if I find myself starting to get anxious, I’ll just say, “Okay, Lord I’m sorry. I’m probably out of your manner, timing, and intensity here. I just give this whole thing to you, and when it’s the right time, give it back to me in peace.”
