1 Peter 5: 6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, & in His good time He will honor you. 7 Give all your worries & cares to God, for He cares about what happens to you.
8 Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victims to devour. 9 Take a firm stand against him, & be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers & sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are.

What do ya do when ya stick your neck out for God & ya end up finding out that the whole thing you stuck it out for was something you dreamed up?

What do ya do when you've focused on something for so long on that what you thought was the leading of God & it ends up just nothing? What do you do with yourself when what you were afraid was just you fooling yourself really turns out to be you just fooling yourself?And then, what do ya do with a scripture like the one that's about?
