General Discussion / God is with us
« on: September 11, 2019, 02:28:00 PM »
Hi Everyone :-)
I thought i'd post something here in the general discussion area.
Yesterday, i started doing something different...and it is helping tremendously. So I wanted to share.
Please, give me your thoughts on this.
As many of you know, my son Joshua has been very ill, for these past two years. And every day, I have cried out to God for Him to please heal Joshua. This journey has been heart-breaking, and humbling, and the Lord is teaching me SO much.
So, i've been looking up at the sky, and telling God that "i am putting this in His Hands." Looking up at the sky and seeing the beautiful trees and birds, is relaxing to me.
But, yesterday, as i was driving to the market at 6:30 AM (to get some red cabbage, to make sauerkraut for Joshua)... it was SO quiet and the idea came to me, "why don't i just 'talk to God' as if He is right next to me..." Of course I have been praying to Him, crying out to Him, and giving thanks to Him for the Blessings He gives us. But I think i've been "talking at Him."
So, this is different.
Now, I've been "talking to" Him, throughout the day, and this is making me more CALM :-)
Really knowing He is with me (He is everywhere)...is helping to take away the fear and anxiety/anger, makes me more gentle, knowing He is right next to me, humbles me and makes me "Be still and know that He is".
He gives me strength. He is with us.
Hebrews 13:5 - 13:6
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
