I Did Not Want to Share… So Glad I Did!
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Last week, I posted about the scare I had with my elevated blood pressure. If you did not read that blog, please go back and read it HERE. I must be honest, I was very hesitant about posting about my “issues”. I held off for a while before hitting the “share” button….all I kept hearing in my spirit was SHARE IT…It will help someone and do not worry how people will view you!!!! Well, I can tell you after sharing, so many people contacted me (not including the ones who commented) and told me how much they needed that post. I am so glad I obeyed the Lord and posted. Since the post, I want you to know that I have REALLY been working on: 1. Praying 2. Letting Go 3. Watching God work!!!! It has been something that I have had to really work on because I have wanted to pick things up and try to handle them. When I find myself trying to “handle things”, I quickly remember the “Scare” and what God told me. I have had to actually speak out of my mouth: PRAY Jennifer and LET GO!!!! If you have to do the same thing, PLEASE DO!!!!
I hate I had to go to that situation, but I am grateful that the Lord is using it to help me and others. His Word tell us, all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Did the scare, the needles, the Xray, the EKG, the tears feel good … ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! But on the other side, it has been working for my good. I want you guys to be encouraged and know… The Lord is always working and speaking. We just have to be sensitive to what He is doing! If you do not understand what He is doing, He will reveal it in due time. What do we have to do???? Keep trusting and depending on Him… He has NEVER let us down and He NEVER will! You guys be blessed and remember:
Pray
Let Go
Watch God Work
Side Note: I told one of my parents about what I encountered and what the Lord spoke to me and she gave me the cup below… such a GREAT reminder!!!! Let it remind you as well!
Feel free to share and comment below!!! I want this to be a place where people can be encouraged from others. ONLY positive comments... Negative comments will be DELETED!!!
Prayer: Father God in the name of Jesus, thank you for being a Father who is concerned about the things I am concerned about. Father, forgive me for taking on things that you have not designed for me to carry. I am asking that you help me to pray about situations that bother me and leave them at your feet. I have seen the negative effects of what carrying burdens can do for my health. Lord, I am asking for your strength and wisdom to leave things at your feet. Give me the mind to pray, let go, and watch YOU work. I know you are willing and able to help me. You have helped me before and I know you will continue. Thank you for carrying me through life. Thank you for never leaving or forsaking me. Thank you for being a friend that sticks VERY close to me. Thank you for helping me to leave things at your feet. More than anything, thank you for coming to take my sins away. You are such a good Father and Savior. Thank you for being AN AWESOME GOD!!! In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
