There is only 1.
•Flashback Friday•
There is not enough meditation, fasting, tithing, reading the bible, praying, positive thinking or speaking, crystals, essential oils, healthy eating, training, hypnotism, retreats, good karma, conferences, yoga, volunteering, prophets, rituals, psychics, healers, guides or anything in this world that can remove FEAR from a human being’s heart. I have tried and there was only temporary relief followed by more torment.
When I could not sleep and my nights were long, when I could not think clearly, and my heart was full of panic, and anxiety was everywhere I turned, there is only 1 God who rescued me and heard my cry. Even when I could not speak and I had no more will left to fight, when I gave all my money away and was close to giving up all my belongings just so I could feel "cleansed" in my spirit and find peace- there is only 1 God who came to me and gave me a fresh start. 1 God who felt my pain and Who will sit with us in the dark and never leave. 1 God Who healed and delivered my heart from FEAR. There is only 1 God who gives and gives and gives FIRST AND ALWAYS with no guarantee that He will get anything in return.
I am so sorry to anyone who has been abused by religion, spirituality or the systems of this world and who find it difficult to trust and believe God. God is not angry with you, God is not far from you, and God is not punishing you. God is not waiting on the other side for you to get it together and save yourself. There is not enough trauma, abuse, heartache, pain, evil or negativity in this world or in all of time that can ever separate us from the love, light and life of God. God is strong and never gives up! God is present and our constant Source. When the dust settles, God will still be here with us and for us.
Psalm 3:3 says “But you, O Lord, are always my shield from danger; you give me victory and restore my courage.”
Psalm 144:2 says “He is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and I take refuge in Him”
Today I am praying for every person whose heart has been gripped with fear, paranoia, and panic. For anyone who lives in continual anxiety. For anyone who feels suffocated by pain, stress and worry. I pray that your soul will find rest and your mind will be at peace. I pray that you can think clearly and not lash out at yourself or others. I pray that you can forgive yourself for not having it all together. I pray that you will take it one day at a time and sleep well every night. I pray for your loved ones and every dream in your heart. I pray that you will experience God’s love and joy like never before and for your entire being to prosper. We are never alone or forgotten! If God can bring healing and freedom to me (I was a prisoner in my own mind, body and heart for many many years), then God can do it for anyone!
