Many of us find ourselves in situations and unusual circumstances when we find ourselves saying "What do we do?" or The Famous "I don't know what to do..." All I can do is pray we say. Prayer sometimes seems the furthest from our minds during those times, but we do muster up enough strength and enough time to say a few words and have a somewhat pleasent conversation with God some of us may have a Knock Down Drag out with God and Cry til there are no more tears. I often find myself in those positions because of lack of time spent with God and lack of daily conversations with him, and quality time reading his word and gaining his promises for me. These days have been quite the struggle, I had found myself in a fog and hazy daze for a few weeks, not really able to get that tight "connection" I had always thought I had. Being me an analyzer I had to get to the very root of the problem to the very bottom of what was going on inside my head, my heart is right has been for many years, but our minds tend to get away from us and do it's best to put us in a cloud of dust and debris and seems like there is nothing else but to find ourselves saying "What do I do?" I had been able to meet with several people over the past few months, several whom have voluteeringly gave me opinions to my dilemmas. Most have prayed for me night and day and prayed for my return to the days of prayer and supplication of God's word and the Holy Spirit's tight grip on me as once before. During a visit with some Godly people I was given a copy of "Steps to Freedom in Christ" by Neil T. Anderson This has been a wonderful tool and along with tons of prayer and time helped with the process of eleminating of the lifting of the fogginess. The old saying Letting go and letting God is all well and good if we do it, but saying and doing are two very different things, repetition has been the key these days I have been over and over several things to get to the root and been able to kick them in a bucket and dump them down a drain, one by one they have been "flushed away" so to speak. I am so grateful for love and for the friends and family I have. When we find ourselves in yet again a position to grab hold of the things that once had a grip on us. I have found some scripture to be the one and only thing that soaks up the pain of the hurts people can often inflict on us.
Luke 6:36 " We are to be merciful as God has been merciful" hard to do, but easy when the cross is a vivid bright sign of the greatest love ever known.
Here's a good one from Ephesians 4:31-32
"Let all the bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor and evil speaking be put away from you with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ has forgiven you.
There are so many. My personal fave for these few weeks that we have been praying over several situations and circumstances in our life right now...
"Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth." 1 Chronicles 16:33
If you like me feel like God is picking on you sometimes, it's the exact opposite, we pick apart ourselves. I prefer to continue to think to myself on a daily basis that I am called to be IN the world and NOT of the world, which is a huge difference. Romans 12:2
