Prayers needed, just not real sure what for

[Robby]

Hey guys, right now I have a heavy heart about something, and I need to pray about it, I need God's guidance. Problem is every time I start to pray about it, I realize that I'm not sure just what I'm praying about, I can feel the heaviness in my heart, I just don't really know what the heaviness is. I know it's the wrong attitude, but I keep thinking that I need to figure out just what is on my heart, so I can pray about it. I wish I could figure out what is going on, or I could start praying, but I'm stuck and can't do either.

Just a little background, so you understand what's happening. It's not the first time I've been here. There have been a few times I've just had to pull a prayer from somewhere and pray. Then later I would find out what the situation was. I don't usually talk about this, but I have a little fore-sight, I guess you could call it, or premonitions or something. Ever since I was young, there have been certain times that I knew something was going to happen, I never had any idea what until it did happen, but I knew it was coming. The Bible talks about people with premonitions being possessed or something and to avoid them, and that's always bothered me. But I realized one day that since I have no knowledge of what the event it, it's technically not a premonition, and it's quite the translators choose a word that wasn't exactly right (not saying it's not, just that it's a possibility), and also, there are a lot of people in the Bible that God gave visions to, and He gave them knowledge of future events, so all that together tells me my Spiritual Gift is good. Except that it really does a number on my heart from the time I get the feeling until I know the situation has resolved itself. Until then my heavy heart is enough to drive me insane. I guess about 50/50 things end up being good and not bad, but I never know, and that's part of the pain, knowing it could be bad, or good, and being confused on how to pray for the situation, I'm honored God choose me for this, I just wish He would give a little more clarity when he says "Pray, but you don't need to know what for".

Praying.

Sometimes I just pray to put my problems in God's hands and let him take care of it/me.

I do that too, but I don't think this is a problem, more of an opportunity (code for something is about to go bad wrong), or a blessing, I've just got what feels like the after coals of a fire, but it would actually be the beginning coals I guess, you know where the top has already cooled off, and way down underneath, it's still red hot, and could flame up any moment. Yeah, that's how my heart feels right now, I know something is coming I just don't know what, good or bad. But I am trusting that He will take me through whatever it is.

Has anyone else had this happen, God said "pray, but I'm not telling you what to pray about just yet. You'll know when the time is right"? He likes having fun with me on this, because He knows it drives me nuts. I've always been faithful to do what He said, I just wish I had more information.

Thanks for the prayers so far, I'll let you know, when I can, if He tells me I can.
