Confirmation
By Barbara Philbrook

Have you ever needed confirmation that you were living in God's will,
I mean you thought that you were but still????

Have you gotten on your knees and cried out to God "Please let me know",
"Please give me a sign this is the way I should go."

Some sort of substantiation  that I've been doing exactly as You ask,
that I am not doing this as a wasted task.

You need verification that you are doing God's will,
that your spirit and His Spirit are connected still.

Now I'm sure that each of us has felt that way at least once or twice,
and when I do I go to God seeking his advice.

There can be nothing that feels much better to you,
than when God sends confirmation He's still in charge of what you do.

It usually comes from a source you don't expect it from,
but it is so recognizable that to doubt would be dumb.

In your heart you feel so light you could just soar,
and deep within you, doubts don't exist anymore.

There is a peacefulness that takes over you,
you know that you know your doing what God wants you to.

Confirmation has been sent to you this day,
not only of what you sought but that He cares deeply about what you pray.
