For some reason today, I just feel overwhelmed by His presence. It seems that I'm seeing Him in my work. I'm seeing Him more in my relationships. And it's like I'm seeing His Word manifesting more and more in my life.
I received prayer requests from a few colleagues. And I've not had a conversation with them about God. However, it was apparent that they 'felt' something in my conversation, my email, or just my instant message that let them know it was okay to ask me to pray. This just says to me that no matter what I'm going through, as long as I'm 'IN' Him, I'm in the perfect position to be used by Him!
Many of us are going through something at this very moment. It may be something on your job, something in a marriage, a family relationship, just feeling down, feelings of guilt and/or remorse, something in your finances - SOMETHING. Just know that God is bigger than all of those things! He has made us so many promises in His Word that He will be there for us ALWAYS!
I have been singing all morning and giving God praise. It felt sooooo good to just lift my hands and open my mouth and feel His warmth overtake me. You know...you don't have to be in a church to lift your hands and give God praise! :) I began to smile and sing even louder because I know that He's got 'this' and 'that', too! Why? Because I really DO trust HIM. I even had to pull out an 'oldie but goodie' to help me along the way - "I'll Trust You, Lord" by Pastor Donnie McClurkin. And the tears began to flow even harder....singing some of the lyrics -
I know that faith is easy when everything is going well
But can you still believe in Me when your life's a living hell?
And when all the things around you seem to quickly fade away
There's just one thing I really want to know
Will you let go? (I'll trust you, Lord)
Will you stand on My word? (I'll trust you, Lord)
Against all odds will you believe what I have said? (I'll trust You, Lord)
What seems impossible ... (I'll trust You, Lord)
Will you believe? (I'll trust You, Lord)
Every promise that I made will you receive? (Yes, I will trust You, Lord)
What if it hurts? (I'll trust You, Lord)
What if you cry? (I'll trust You, Lord)
What if it doesn't work out the first time that you try? (I'll trust You, Lord)
What if you call My name ... (I'll trust You, lord)
And you don't feel Me near? (I'll trust You, Lord)
Will you believe in Me or will you fear? Oh, my child?(Yes, I will trust, You Lord)
When you find yourself in a pickle, open your mouth and speak the Word of God! Trust Him like never before. We are in a season where He is revealing and making all things new. So no matter what it looks like...no matter how bad it hurts...no matter how it feels, just trust Him.
God loves you...He really does! And He will NEVER put any more on you than you can handle :)

This is one of my favorite songs. I used to listen to this song on repeat when my marriage was falling apart in 2003. Thankfully, we let Jesus step in the middle of the mess and heal us both. We’ll be married 14 years on April 11th. Take that devil!
ReplyDelete@RaganCoop: Thank you for this comment. Sometimes, it takes putting a song on REPEAT for us to get it. Congrats to you and your hubby!
