I've been so restless lately...sighing, breathing deep and standing in one place instead of sitting down. My world is upside down, as I know it. Everything I have based my security in is being challenged and the things that have made me "happy" or should I say at ease have been stripped. Now what? Oh yes, I have had my fits, my temper tantrums, pity patties etc. but no one is invited. See, I haven't let anyone in.
But God knows....so He sends a friend and I let it out, controlling it and only giving bits and pieces. Then one day I reach out and ask for prayer and wow! Peace comes and floods the places that were so dry and I once again feel free! So this morning, I wake up without that anxious feeling and I read His Word first.
"Restore to me the joy of Your Salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit." Psalm 51:12
Crazy how He knew exactly what I needed to hear...to be brought back to the basics of my faith and for that to be enough! That Salvation is enough and joy is mine because He saved me! He loved me enough to come near my mess and shower me with grace that I didn't deserve. I had forgotten to be grateful. And gratitude always comes before the miracle!
See, this relationship with God is wild! It is awesome and full of His Spirit! I need Him. And if I am going to be free, I need to continue to hand it all to Him.
So I will pray and seek Him and He promises He will hear me. And I will continue to believe that life will turn around and I will soon be sharing about His radical rescue!
