My heart was racing and my mind was running a mile a minute
with thoughts and images. I needed things to slow down but they wouldn’t. I
tried to rest my body and lay quietly in the dark. When that didn’t work, I
tried to distract myself with Facebook. But I was not interested in that. So, I
opened my bible app and looked for a reading plan. After reading scriptures and
talking to God, peace began to surround me. I was able to drift off to sleep.
Then the morning came. I was totally distracted. I was
moving on auto-pilot. I hungered for the Word, so I completed my bible study
lesson for the day. Oh, the similarities between Haman and I in Esther 5:9-10. Haman
was happy then enraged. Nevertheless, he held his composure and passed. Likewise,
I chose to move forward and to take control of my actions and reactions. Every thought
is not meant to be verbalized. God always delivers a word just for you at the
exact moment that you need it. You just have to be open and willing to receive
it.
The words of Kirk Franklin played over and over in my mind
and lifted the heaviness from my heart. “I know that I can make it. I know that
I can stand. No matter what may come my way, my life is in your hands. With
Jesus, I can take it. With Him I know I can stand.” I am not alone on this life
journey and neither are you. God knows what you’re going through and He wants
to provide you with comfort.
Who do you turn to in the time of need?
