It is amazing to me how day after day we can seemingly be blindly stumbling our way through a situation or a season of our life and then someone prays for you…. BAM!! …. the lights come on and you see everything around you so clearly. I read the bible, pray and spends quality time with God, but we all no matter what, seem to get into those places. What I mean by those places is needing someone to step up and stand beside us and Pray for us.
For the last year I have felt so weary. It was like I had gotten to a place when anything happened, I would just flinch regardless. I did everything I could think of to help myself; Prayed more, studied more, I also reach out more. I just could not get the relief I was seeking. When people would pray for me they would pray, let go and enter His rest and when people would speak a word of prophesy they spoke do not be afraid to rest in Him. I promise you I want to scream back….What do you mean!!! I am praying, I am studying, seeking the word, I am sitting before the Lord!!! But I would smile and walk away in my own little world of agony.
Then one morning I woke and I cried out, I am doing all I know to do and this is not working. I am asking Lord, what can I do, what do you want me to do. It turns out that night I had to stop by church, I wasn’t feeling well so few of the ladies prayed for me, this time it was different, I was ready to surrender, I was desperate. I cannot explain the weight lifted off my shoulders, my mind and my heart.
As painful as a season and situations are they have a purpose. I listened to someone explain that when the human body is making muscle, that it actually tears the muscle and in 48 hours it rebuilds it stronger. So in my body to make myself stronger it must tear down to then become stronger. Now I know God Does Not send bad things to us, All bad is from satan. Yet, God will use All. The rest that God has been so lovingly trying to get me to sit in, is that every detail is used to form who I am destine to be. I did know that, but I had not come to the place of trusting Him in that.
Today if you are having a hard time, you are weary, turn to Him and pray as I did. God will see your surrender and will lead your heart and spirit to the relief, the deliverance you need to be free.
That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.
Romans 8:28
Blessings!
