We Were Not Designed to do it by Ourselves
I start this encouraging blog with a praye;
Lord, please listen to that one that calls to you. Listen to them as you have so many times before listened to me and others as we called to you.
Psalms 61:2 -4 From the ends of the earth will I cry unto you. When my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
Our lives are so filled with hopelessness, anixety, and yes, sometimes even fear of the unknown.
Why would we have these anxious thoughts Lord ,? When we as your children by believing, trusting in Jesus that died for our sins on Calvary?
I know for one, I know better. I think it's because we are looking at the wrong circumstances, we are trying to handle it by ourself.
We are forcusing on the wrong things. My hope is not in this world, but in the one that gives me my eternal home in His Kingdom.
Our amswers, our hope is in his word. If we would read, follow and keep our eyes on the creator of the universe, how could we have any doubt that he is in total control.?
After all; He created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 He is the great I AM!
I don't know what your big struggle is , I do know what I consider mine. I feel left along without my husband of 59 years of marriage. I really didn't know I would have to face this struggle. But, why not me? Why not you in your present struggle.
Losing a loved one is grief for sure. A grief that most do not know about, untill it happens to you.
I look around and all I seem to see if spouses that have each other. I feel like, Why, not me Lord? Sad as it makes me feel, I can say: Lord, you let him have no pain, a very short in comparison to any others, a short illness. And, above all. he had Jesus and the word tells me; that when he took his last breath here on earth, he took his next one in paradise.
2 Corinthians 5: 8. That makes me rejoice!
I have been a prayer warrior trusting my Lord since "my new birth " in 1969. And allthough I've been through many trials, this has been my hardest one. How do I keep going? How do I know that I will get through it all? Because, my heavenly Father is walking right beside me, he is not letting me go through it by myself. he is teaching me scripture, that I have need of.
My greatest comfort is: we both have Jesus as our own personal Savior. The written word tells me.I will see him again. Its just a matter of waiting. Yes, we don't like to wait, but friends when you know you will see them again, you can wait.
IT WILL BE WORTH IT ALL, when we see Jesus. Remenmber; We were not designed to do it by ourselves. Turn to Jesus, he will battle it for you.
