Good morning! How are we faithing? Forgive the two week absence. I ask for prayer for me and my family as it has been rough.
During hard times we as a species are prone to seek comfort for our bodies in many forms. We also seek rest in our hearts when we are in pain. Help in the physical is many times prudent as well as spiritual but we must be aware and be careful of dependency on physical aids that overwhelm spiritual ones. Our strength is in the Lord even when we hurt inside so bad we think we can't make it. Only with persistent prayer and conversing with the Lord are we able to allow him to repair our damage. I have dealt with many people who "medicate to much" and that turned into a whole other issue so make sure that medication is just for a physical that is struggling with the effects of events and doesn't become a new issue...on top of the original. Our savior has whatever you are dealing with. Our savior knows what shape you are in and he himself has endured the same emotional pain. Let me encourage you to seek out the only place real comfort comes.
Heb 4:7-16
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
remember Wyatt Jones family...remember Phyllis...remember Andrea...remember Brenda's Dad...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your grace and comfort in our times od woe. Help us to lift our eyes to you and not get caught up in self pity and show us your grace and mercy. Teach us to run to you when we ought to. Grant us wisdom and clarity in all situations. We praise you and love you and it is in Jesus' holy name we pray, amen
