Every day my prayer’s the same. I’m a broken record. There’s a need that we have. God says bring it to Him in prayer. Last week, God spoke to my heart and told me I was praying the wrong thing. He assured me that the prayer I had been praying was answered. In fact I remember distinctly hearing Him answer it almost a year ago. That’s what makes it difficult to understand. Then God gave me a peace and understanding that He has this. My prayer should be, to rest in HIM. For faith and trust. For help not to lean unto my own understanding. These things are very hard when everything we see and hear around us says the opposite. So now my prayer has changed. But, my human side, my flesh is full of anxiety. I feel like locking myself inside and crying my eyes out. I feel like eating everything and anything. I feel like never getting out of bed. Yet…I don’t. I’m full with God’s joy, His peace. The true peace that passes all understanding. I now know first hand what that phrase really means. I now know first hand what many Bible verses mean, that before were only just words to be recited. I’m full of excitement for what God has to come. It’s like those negative feelings are there, ready to burst out at anytime, yet they cant. They cant because of Gods love! I’m aware that the possibility is there, yet God takes my hand and leads me. As I look back at the anxiety, I leave it behind, holding on to Gods hand knowing everything is going to be alright! “Be still and know I am God” He says! Now I understand.
