The Lord is good, His mercy endures forever! This is a little long but it barely scratches the surface of how the Lord ministered to me Today.
As I was trying to hold on to trust and keep my mind on goodness and blessings, I was actually on the verge of a meltdown. My anxiety was trying to beat me down and the accusations of the demons were screaming like a storm in my mind.
I prayed this morning, and read my Bible as I do nearly every morning, and had some sense of solace. But I still felt the pressure of the possibility of not doing enough to cover and care for my wife as she struggles with some things. I know the Lord is helping us but sometimes, it’s difficult to see it, and in my narcissistic selfish sense of failure, doubt and despair cast a dark shadow.
I also know that other people are praying for us every day, and possibly more than one time in a day. Thank you all for the prayers and the encouragement! But this afternoon, The Lord answered my prayer, and I got a phone call that was unexpected. I can’t go into details but the date was moved closer and what a relief in my spirit it was!
The Lord makes me think that I am special and he hears my prayers. I know He does, but also all those others who pray probably have the same sense of being especially loved and heard. (My grandmother had A BUNCH of grandchildren and I think she made everyone of them think they were her favorite.) Regardless of who is special, the praise and the glory is for God our Father who is full of mercy and generous in blessings. The result of one person’s answered prayer, whether by me or someone else is praise to Him.
And we all in our spirit, in our hearts praise Him and give thanks. And we all have a testimony to share to others who need to know The Lord Jesus and the joy that comes through Him alone. Oh how I wish I could put this into song and make it a praise song for all to sing!
