From "The Word For Today"- I hope this encourages you as well as giving you a smile:

Max Lucado writes, 'I awoke early one morning for a meeting … [and] spotted a bag of cookies. Our daughter had attended a bake sale so I thought she must've set them out for me. I ate one … interesting texture … I ate a second … with coffee it made an interesting option. I grabbed a third for the road, and would have grabbed the fourth but only one remained. Later my wife phoned, "Looks like someone's been in the bag." "It was me," I admitted. "I've had better breakfast cookies but those weren't bad." "Those weren't breakfast cookies," she replied, "they were homemade dog biscuits!" All day when I scratched my belly, my leg kicked … not to mention my interest in fire hydrants! I should've consulted the maker.'
The Bible says, 'God is working in you to help you … do what pleases Him' (Php 2:13 NCV). So when you sense 'a hold' in your spirit, He's probably trying to get your attention. He promised to 'guide you along the best pathway for your life … advise … and watch over you' (Ps 32:8 NLT). So you need to listen to Him and do what He says! Jude said, 'I wanted very much to write you about salvation … But I felt the need to write … about something else.' Jude wanted to dedicate his epistle to one topic, but God had other plans.
A century ago, FB Meyer wrote, 'Are you in difficulty about your way? Go to God … get direction from the light of His smile or the cloud of His refusal … wait there silent and expectant, though all around you insist on immediate decision or action – the will of God will be made clear; and you'll have a new conception of God.'
