He's carving out a place for me

I spent time today in prayer. During my prayer time, I played my worship music and a song came on by Laura Hackett that is called "Carving out a place for me". The song is about how the Lord is carving out a place for me so that I may contain His Glory. She sings "like a dry river bed, I'm waiting for the latter rain". It was exactly what I've been feeling lately. Just like that. Like a dry river bed waiting for the latter rain. It seems like lately I've been hearing so much good news from so many people around me. News of financial provision, spiritual breakthroughs, physical blessings and so much more. It shows that prayers are being heard and the Lord is answering! On the other hand, I feel this dryness and its causing me to feel sorrow. I have loved and enjoyed hearing the Lord speak to me through dreams and in my prayer time, but lately I hear nothing. I see nothing. I dream nothing. Its painful. I'm waiting for the latter rain. My time of prayer has been filled with tears.

Psalms 39:12 - “Hear my prayer, O LORD, And give ear to my cry; Do not be silent at my tears; For I am a stranger with You, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.

I wait upon the Lord to hear His voice. A voice I love. I voice that brings me peace, joy and strength. A sound that rushes through my spirit like a mighty rushing wind.

I ask you Holy Spirit, to incline Your ear to me. Shine Your face upon me. Hear the longings of my heart that seek after You, Lord. Help me to wait upon you, that I may renew my strength, because I feel weak and weary. I pray for You to guide me to pray for those You've place upon my heart. I cry out for mercy upon our families, friends and our land. Incline Your ear Father! Thank You for Your mercy, kindness and peace. I love you Lord.

Isaiah 40:27-31 - “ My way is hidden from the LORD, And my just claim is passed over by my God”? 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. 29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, 31 But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary,   They shall walk and not faint.
