Thank you, sweet Jesus. He knew exactly what I needed to hear, to get things going in my spirit, so I wouldn’t explode. Those words were just what I needed to hear. Err, read.

Nail.on.the.head. Thank you, Lara! Thing(s) consuming my thoughts? What do I do next? Are my ideas good ideas? Should I act on them, or not? Should I go get another box of fundraiser chocolate covered almonds? Probably not. But maybe? Should I run? Should I yell this time? Idolizing myself?

Worship. The answer. Starting…now. And asking for God’s wisdom.

Thank you!

I found this so reassuring. I have not only been going through a horrendous divorce, my house is suffering from subsidence so cannot be sold, I have no money to put it right, its overbearing me, suffocating me, I pray, I pray and I pray – but nothing happens, so now I have given this to God to help me find a way out – I have faith he will, but oh the pressure on me is awful – my husband cursed me to hell for eternity and that is something I can never come to terms with. I just need Jesus to put his arms round me and tell me everything is going to be alright. This is going around and around my head – no way out. Thank you

I know you don’t know me from Adam but I just have to say…I love ya! I love your heart – the way you have with words – your wonderful sense of humor – and I really, really love the way our God uses you to speak to me – again & again!! And although I never would have put it that way…Yes!! There are things suffocating my soul and the way out is to WORSHIP my way out? That is profound. Just. Profound. Thank you. 🙂

In reply to Sarah. Sarah! So good. And I think often it is the "good" things or desires that can consume our hearts and minds. Praying for deep worship and sweet communion with your God today.

This was so what I needed to hear and I didn’t even know it! My soul suffocating thoughts lately have centered on adoption. Don’t get me wrong, adoption is totally a God-thing, and a good thing, but when it consumes your thoughts, I can see how, when thinking about it constantly, it can become an idol. I’ve been praying, laying it at the foot of the cross, and giving it over to God for months now, but then I pick it right back up. Ugh! My humanness sometimes… My way to “worship my way out of this” will be to go to scripture and SING SING SING!
Thank you for your encouraging words
