Let's echo Otheydor's "Amen and amen"! Trust God's perfect will & timing. "The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord" (Prov 21:1). Keep praying fervently, He hears & answers! 
Hello everyone! Let's lift up these needs in prayer:
Every part of Scripture is God-breathed [Spirit-inspired] and useful one way or another — showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.
—2 Timothy 3:16-17 MESSAGE
As you open your Bible, imagine the Holy Spirit standing in front of soft clay or un-chiseled marble. As you read the Scriptures, the Spirit takes those Scriptures and molds you and shapes you into someone beautiful. That someone is still you — just as surely as clay shaped by a potter is still clay and chiseled marble is still marble — but as the Spirit works on you through the Word, you come to resemble Jesus, more and more. You are shaped by the Holy Spirit who uses that Scripture to fashion you for the life God has for you!
O Father, use your Word to make me useful as the Spirit molds and shapes me into the person you want me to be. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
