Searching for a light in the darkness, looking for a door, any door that will open and shed light on the situation you're facing. Hoping and desperately seeking answers that you need or want "right now." We've all been there and waiting on the Lord isn't exactly what most of us want to do.
Depending on your situation you may become anxious for the answers you think you need. You grasp at solutions you think will give you relief to the problems you face, whether it be financial, a health crisis, or a relationship in trouble. It may seem your desperate cry for help has gone unheeded and you might become discouraged.
Don't let fear or disappointment cause you to make decisions that only give temporary relief or may very well make your situation worse in the long run.
God's light will shine through with the answers He knows is best. We often reach for a solution that may seem good but often regret our decision later. Trust only in prayer and God's timing for the best outcome you need. I have often looked back at situations and I can see both sides of decisions I've made. When I've chosen to wait and trust the Lord, I could clearly see the outcome and purpose of it all.
In 1st Samuel 16, even though David was chosen to be king, it didn't happen right away. While he waited, he would face Goliath and go through many trials including being hunted down by Saul. Two times in 1st Samuel 24: 4 and 1st Samuel 26: 8-11, David waited patiently in the darkness; not taking advantage of the opportunity but trusted God's timing. He didn't let the hardship of what he was going through cause him to make an unwise decision. He waited and trusted God for His light to show the way.
Desperateness and discouragement can cause you to make unwise choices that only lead further into the dark. Trust and wait on the Lord. His light of hope will come through as He promised.
Galatians 6:9 KJV
"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap if we faint not."
John 8:12 NKJV
… Jesus spoke..."I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."
