Yesterday, during the kids' nap, I felt prompted to go read His Word because I knew I needed badly to fill my mind with that to fight the ongoing battle.
Not knowing exactly which passage I was going to read and without the intention of just reading whichever page I landed on when I opened the bible, I opened the bible. The page landed on a Psalm. Somehow, I was prompted to read that Psalm. As I read on, verse by verse, I knew in my heart that God was speaking. The words of that Psalm spoke to my heart and I felt identified with by the Psalmist. That kind of identification was powerful and I was led to study it in greater depth. To my amazement, I felt much much better after hearing from God through that Psalm and was immediately released from those intense emotions into the peace which He wanted to give me.
The experience of knowing that God has spoken precisely and specifically frees me. Nothing beats hearing from my Almighty Father. He has proven to me once again that He is with me and He is close-by. He is a personal God who desires to relate to us in the depths of our beings.
Psalm 34: 18
"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."
John 14:27
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
This song also came to me:
I Cry Out
I cry out for Your hand of mercy to heal me
I am weak and I need your love to free me
O Lord, my Rock, my strength in weakness
Come rescue, O Lord
You are my hope, Your promise never fails me
And my desire is to follow you forever
For You are good, for You are good, for You are good to me
For You are good, for You are good, for You are good to me
