My heart is heavy. My
heart is hurting and breaking for so many people right now. People that I love and care about. Yesterday, I was faced with six different
situations that are going on around me right now. Bad situations. Painful situations. Boy, satan is having a freaking field day. And these six situations are only the ones
that I know about because I am close to them.
Just think of all of the other bad situations that are going on right
now that I have no clue about! This is
so discouraging and disheartening to me!
I just want to fix them all! I
don’t want people to have to go through the pain of losing loved ones. I don’t want marriages to fail. I don’t want people to be accused wrongly and
unfairly. I don't want people to let
anger and bitterness control their lives.
I don’t want people to be depressed.
I don’t want people to lose the will to live. ß But all of these things are
happening right now and they are all very real.
And only God can fix them.
Honestly, I feel like screaming right now. And crying.
And giving a few people a piece of my mind! But I know that won’t solve anything and it
won’t make me feel better. I can’t fix
any of these situations. I have no
control over any of them. I can’t change
people’s minds or their hearts. But God
can.
So instead, I am crying out to God on behalf of each of
these situations that are on my mind and my heart. Because I know that God is our only
hope. Our only hope of reconciliation,
of forgiveness and of healing. I am
praying that hearts and minds will be opened by the Holy Spirit and that He
will show Himself in each of these situations and that He will be glorified
through them all. I am praying that God
will cover each of these hurting people with a comfort and peace that only He
can provide.
If you are in the process of losing a loved one, take
comfort in knowing that God knows your pain.
He knows what loss feels like. He
gave up His only Son to die for each and every one of us. Know that He can give you peace even in the
midst of the pain and that He knows exactly how you are feeling.
If your marriage is failing, don’t give up. Fight for your marriage if at all
possible. God can heal even the deepest
hurts in a marriage – even when it doesn’t make sense. He can take something that is completely
broken and make it whole again.
If you are being accused wrongly and unfairly – take heart –
God is fighting for you. He has your
back in this. He is in complete
control. He has you in His hands and He
has a perfect plan – even in this.
If you are angry and bitter, give that anger and bitterness
to God. He knows exactly what to do with
it. If you are hanging on to past hurts,
let them go. If you don’t, you will stay
just as miserable as you are now. God
doesn’t want you to be miserable! He
wants to carry the burden of your pain for you!
If you are depressed, know that there is hope. God can and will bring you through this. If you have lost the will to live, please
don’t give up. God sees you. He loves you.
He cares about you, even when it feels like nobody else does. Your life is worth fighting for – even when
it doesn’t feel like it - YOU ARE WORTH
IT.
I believe in the power of prayer. I know that God is still on His throne. And I know that in the end, satan loses. Keep fighting, friends. This is not a losing battle – God has already
won!
