There are mornings I wake up to get in my prayer room to be in the presence of God, and anxiety can still creep in. Or maybe it's just my heart hurts for the people and situations I've been praying for. Seeing people in complete disaster and loss from storms and fires. So many lives lost from this virus and other sickness. But whatever the feeling is, it drives me to focus on God. To pray more, and knowing God is still in complete control. Nothing is taking Him by surprise.
I know the enemy hates my time in prayer for my family and friends. So I will not give up sitting there, seeking God, until that feeling subsides. And it always does! There has been alot of painful prayer requests this past 2 years. Alot of painful things happening all over the world. Storms, floods, fires, deaths. It's just been so constant, and the Bible talks about these things in Matthew 24:7-8.. Luke 21:10-11.
The book of Matthew chapter 6: 25-34, are great verses to meditate on for worry. But verse 33 seems to be a key verse to worry. " But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." So to seek God's kingdom and his righteousness, means to turn to God first for help. To fill our thoughts with his desires. To serve and obey him in everything. Our world is seeing the affects of not doing this.
In these past 2 years, I have been learning to deepen my relationship with Christ. Focus on His word, and rejoice in each day He gives me. I love to talk to people about Him wherever I go. There is always opportunity, and you never know who God has listening in. Someone you may bless without even knowing it.
Things may feel like they are crashing in all around you. But you may be right where God wants you to be? Drawing you to a deeper love relationship, and understanding of His character.
So like the verses of this song, " Whether I sink, or whether I swim, it makes no difference when, I'm beautifully in over my head."
For Your glory Lord
