I was asked this question recently and it shook me more than it has in the past. As I tried to quickly think of an answer, I reflected on my days of camp and how I always had an excited response that was full of answered prayers and personal testimonies. Now, however, I was stuck fumbling over words and seeking to find an evidence of God even though I know that he has been present in my life.
Praise the Lord! That is my current reflection on the situation. As I have been lifted up in prayer, I am starting to see more intentional answers to prayer and have felt the need to again start documenting the evidence of God in my life through answered prayers.
Since that conversation, I now have a better answer to "What is the Lord doing in your life?". There are two areas I have been struggling with for most of this semester, if not this year are relationships and finances. He has definitely been answering my prayers in these areas, but yesterday and today I have finally felt the Lord's presence again as I have again surrendered my strength to him as I read through 2 Corinthians 12.
1) God has given me grace to overcome my struggles in a specific relationship. As I have struggled to know how to properly respond, I feel that he has now completely provided and will continue to provide words as I rest in Him.
2) God has opened a possible door that I am very excited about, but I need to keep surrendering this to him to see it through and praise Him no matter what happens.
This lesson of trusting in and surrendering to the magnificent Lord of the universe has been an incredible journey, and I am starting to see fruit! :D What a wonderful God we serve!
