I am really struggling. I go back and forth with this feeling that GOd wants more for me and my life (and I believe Him) however there is this other force in me that is so strong and is holding me down like a weight. I have become fearful of people, places and things. I am so sensitive to everything that even my own children can be around me for very short periods because I start getting angry or crying. The rage is a bottomless pit. I can make my thinking "right" however the body does not comply. I believe GOd has me where He wants me for a reason. I am trying to "Be still and know that I am GOd." I just wish I knew if there was something else I was supposed to be doing. Prayers please. Thanks.
I have felt your struggle, and still feel it at times....though not as intense right now.
I was listening to this song today, I don't know the name of it, but the gist of it was,
'Somehow this story is a part of your plan...Here I Am!
And when I hear it, I feel God is going to pull something Good from my Struggle...I don't quite know what it is yet, but Here I am Lord...Lord Send Me! Same with you...in God's time!
This is one of my Favorite Scriptures, and is the basis of Beth's 'Breaking Free' Study!
Isaiah 61
The Year of the LORD's Favor
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zionâ??
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.
Girl, greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. and that is no joke. The transformation is happening I trust - it can just be so painful, especially when the bad voices are saying otherwise.
thank you for your prayers, because the last couple of days have been better for me. And tomorrow night we'll be on a plane and vacation and rest will be upon us.
