At times anxiety rears its ugly head within me.
I don't know if you reading can relate but it is a reality for me. It arrives at will it seems and hangs around like an unwanted guest.
I awoke the other night in such a state of anxiety after a dream having to do with my son. It is no surprise as I often have dreams that have to do with him. This time of year is harder, if that can be the case with a part of me missing each day. The anxiety raged and called all my senses into alert. This takes its toll on a body.
Yesterday was filled with anxiety and lots of prayer. Where would I be with out my faith in Jesus? I don't want to know. As it so happens the day before I had seen the verse in Psalm 46:10 that says: "Be still, and know that I am God." Oh how I was going to need this verse the day after I read it. I had written it down in my journal and when I came to sit here in my sunroom there it was the last thing I had written in my journal. Now I wish I could sit here and tell you I got up and went about my day being still and knowing He is God! No I didn't but I prayed and held it there in my heart. I have specific devotions that come to me in my email as well as some I get on my face book page and wouldn't you know they were proclaiming similar messages to me . God is so awesome ! I think of that old hymn that says : Does Jesus care when my heart is pained to deeply for mirth or song- as the burdens press, and the cares distress, and the way grows weary and long? O yes he cares- I know he cares! His heart is touched with my grief; when the days are weary, the long nights dreary, I know my S avior cares.~ Frank E Graeff -~ J Lincoln Hall....
Those devotions had these verses I want to leave with you today as maybe you will need them as I did. Psalm 119:114 You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in Your Word.
Deuteronomy 31:8 It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you;He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.
Isaiah 41:10 So do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you;I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Lord Jesus ,
Where would I be with out you? Where would my son be without you? I praise you that in spite of my deep hearts cry for my precious son I have peace amidst the anxiety as I come to you and your word that is :Hebrews 4:12 for the word of God is living and
powerful, and sharper than a two-edged sword,piercing even to the
division of soul and spirit,and is a discerner of the intents of the heart. Thank you Jesus for your gift of eternal life and that although I will continue to struggle in my anxiety at times you will always faithfully keep me close and get me through with your powerful, life giving word. I love you Jesus and thank you . In your powerful name Jesus , I pray, amen.
