7. Coffee with a friend the other day after a rough day.
8. A husband who prays with me when I need it.
9. A son who saw my tears and told me that, "Even God takes care of the lilies of the field, how much more he loves you."
10. A pastor's wife who prays for me and encourages me.
All of these connections, all of this love. It is all around me. It has always been all around me. I am just starting to notice and FEEL it.
I need this today. Every day, but today especially. There is a struggle for my soul and it has been agonizing. I felt God telling me the struggle was over, and I could lean into him and trust him, all was ok, on May 29th. I am still trusting for that. Some days are harder than others. I can't do this alone. So many lies to overcome.
But really, if he told me the struggle was over, is is ME who needs to solve this, fix this? I CAN'T. He CAN. So, Father God, hear my prayers as I seek the healing that can only come from you. I know you have great things in store for me, erase the lies that say you don't, I won't, I'm not, I can't.
"Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am." Philippians 4:13, The Message
THROUGH anything.
Not continuing endlessly in the pain.
THROUGH.
THROUGH the fire.
Refined.
Shining.
Beautiful.
Thank you, Jesus.
