But God!

But God

A tsunami wave of emotions has been ravaging my heart.

Loved ones getting terrible diagnoses. Diagnoses that only steal, kill and destroy. Destroy time, relationships, peace of mind, and finally the body.

I’m so angry and then deeply sad. Then righteous anger again. What a tempest.

But God

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” (Rev. 1:8, ESV)

This reminds me I have His constant presence and assurance now and at the end. This is a truth I cling to.

But God

“Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace at all times and in every way [that peace and spiritual well-being that comes to those who walk with Him, regardless of life’s circumstances]. The Lord be with you all.” (2 Thes. 3:16, AMP)

This reminds me I can access His peace at all times. I must make the choice to engage with His peace instead of leaning on my own understanding.

But God

I’m trying to give myself grace when my exhaustion and frustration kick in and when my rage toward the enemy surges instead of my trust in God’s finished work.

But God

He has blessed me with so many people who pray with me fervently and in His unity, and for that I am eternally grateful.

I don’t know who else is going through a time of great pain and calamity, but I stand with you in prayer.

Prayer for you and me: Lord, we acknowledge that Your finished work on the cross is more than enough. Renew our minds to Your truth when our hearts falter. We trust in You. Help us trust in You in all things. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
