Oh Sunday, how I love you...:) I pray and praise our Heavenly Father 24/7, but Sunday is such a wonderful day for me, I love the peace that I feel when I awake on Sunday, I love the difference there is in sitting out on early Sunday morn, there is no hustle bustle in my neighborhood, it seems everyone sleeps in, there is little to no traffic on my street, our little town here is quiet and I seem to have a more intimate conversation with my "light" than any other day of the week!
In prayer this morning, I sat in silence, I listened to the wonderful sounds around me, I took the fresh smell of the air deep into my lungs, I stilled my mind and I sat in the wonderment of the Holy Spirit, I love it when I have "goose bumps" while I am conversing, I feel him all around me, I know he is prompting me to continue doing what I am doing, and I can feel that Father God is guiding me so that I might touch a heart in need of his word. I prayed as I always do, for health, healing, prosperity, peace, calm, comfort, love, empathy, compassion...etc. As I prayed I the message he needed me to write about became abundantly clear, God needs us all to pray for those struggling with depression and darkness. I prayed from the very core of my heart for the families who are dealing with the loss of a loved one, the effects of loss are, in my minds eye, the steepest of mountains to climb, the highest of hurdles to jump, the deepest of ravines to cross over and the greatest of all heartaches. I have been witness to the effects this past year, I have talked to those who have been left to pick up the pieces and forge forward. I have talked with many who struggle daily in their loss. I lost my father and my grandparents, several friends and acquaintances so I am no stranger to the sadness that comes with loss. I have not suffered the loss of a mate, nor the loss of a child that I have given birth to and loved for years so I cannot say "I know how you feel" I cannot say, "this is how I got through it" I can only pray for peace and comfort, I can only ask God to carry the grieving ones until they can once again stand on their own feet. Today I ask you to pray, pray, pray, for the ones who are struggling with this type loss, I ask you to join me in the plea that they might feel his love and his comfort, that they might give way to their ideas that he has been unjust, that he has allowed this tragedy, that he had a hand in any of it. God would not have given his son to give us everlasting life only to turn hand on us and make bad things happen, he does not teach us lessons by dealing out pain and heartache, he is the alpha and the omega, he is the one that, if allowed, can bring us through any storm, who can heal any hurt and who will be waiting with open arms to welcome us into the kingdom of heaven. We cannot blame him for bad. May you be blessed with understanding, may you be blessed with the holy spirits chill and may you be blessed with knowledge that God is love, he is only love, and if you allow him in to your heart you will never be the same again. May this day be filled with only good things for you and as always be mindful of others and if you should see need in someone, honor our father and give comfort.
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you
Rom 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
