yesterday morning, while driving, like always, I was praying..
I am still sad sometimes, sad about being alone, sad about my marriage to have ended, sad because there is still profound sadness around me because of it... not too sad, most of the time I am more than full of joy because the Lover of my Soul is always close to me.. but still sad..
figured something out a little while ago, with the help of a most wonderful friend.. figured out that there was a fear that had gripped me.. the fear of being alone for the rest of my life.. that this might be what God has for me...
now as we all know, fear is the opposite of faith.. this fear basically says that I am not too sure that the plans He has for me are that good.. I am not trusting Him...
I have tried to change that.. I have, I do pray, I affirm I trust Him, I dwell on His Word, I ask Him to give me more faith, to help me with this...
so yesterday morning, while driving and praying.. all of a sudden I felt I needed to ask Him to forgive me for doubting Him, for fearing that this plan could leave me wanting, unhappy and sad...
I repented.. made me cry... I think this was a breakthrough..
still not sure what else there is I need "to do or be or not do" to not allow this fear to stay.. as always music was going and there was this song playing right at this moment..
a song from Audrey Assad, amazing young songwriter with an amazing voice, loved her on the Michael W Smith Cruise, very authentic and cute, really..
this was the song:
Breaking You
You've been let down, it's true
Your pain is so easy to see
You're hunted by your history
And it feels like you've got no escape
Your life left you high and dry
You used to be sure of yourself
But then your whole world went to hell
And tomorrow looks just like today
So, you lie on your bed, you won't let the morning come in
And you hide in your room, feeding that fear and it's killing you
......
And your down on your knees
Cause your life is not what you thought it would be
No,
Lift up your head
Help is on the way
And it won't pass you by
You just gotta reach out your hand
Lift up your eyes
Love is on the way
And it won't pass you by
You just gotta reach out your hand....
Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
as much as not all the facets of the song apply to me.. I know that Love is not only on it's way.. Love is right here with me always.. it is with me because the Author of Love, the Lord, is with me, and He will never leave me or forsake me.. So blessed, so very, very blessed..
You know I've been feeling something along this line too. My reading I asked God for today was Psalm 13. The same Psalm that inspired me to write my poetry. I have to remind myself that God works on His timing and not the world's time. What we think we want or need won't be given at the time when we think it's right. It took me 20+ years to realize that. Have a great day Miriam!
