Do I just make things up or am I hearing from God?

Isaiah 40: 31 ESV “but they who wait for 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.” As a young person, I used to believe "its one thing after another." We were struggling financially. Now I realise that "life isn't one thing after another." I think when you are young, you are impatient. I want this right now I don't want to save up for that specific thing. When reading Isaiah 40 verse 31 "but they who wait for 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."

Pushing all my buttons and going out of their way to make me angry. I was thinking about this problem and it struck me the longer I feel resentment and feelings of carelessness towards this person the bigger the problem in my own life. When my children were younger I would always say what would Jesus do? I thought about this matter today and I wonder if the Lord Jesus is watching me He must be disappointed in me. I am so angry at this person I cannot stay focused on the Lord. While I’m so angry I just cannot get around to praying and getting on with my life. Today I want to stop this reaction towards this person, I am going to be friendly and keep them at a distance. I wi...
