When we pray....
Happy Monday! Let's get right in it! We are doing the bible study for the War Room movie at church. We had a viewing of the movie this past Thursday and let me be honest...I am glad I missed it. Not because I didn't want to see it, I was actually worshiping with Casting Crowns!! Here is why though...I watched it last night and ladies, I was wrecked! I think I cried through the whole thing. I forgot how good the movie really is.
So, what was it that moved me to tears? A few things. First, just the rawness of being broken down to the point that you truly cry out. It is in these moments that we learn to trust Him. We learn who He is and that He is faithful! I feel that. I know what it feels like to feel so out of control that there is nothing else to do but trust. I feel that way as I sit here and type. My anxiety is high, the PTSD continues to rear its ugly head, and I feel like the enemy lurks around the corner just waiting to pounce. I have been facing some rough spiritual warfare mentally.
Second, the act of handing it over. The act of crying out and finally making the decision to release control to the Lord. Like children, we like to be independent right? We like trying it our own way. But then we realize that we need Mom or Dad and we go with assurance that they will know how to fix it. It's the same thing with our heavenly Father! Just as we run and our parents scoop us up and remedies the issue, God does the same. He is so good!
Finally, just watching our AWESOME God move! I never tire of seeing it. I am never not amazed by it. We don't always understand the route He takes, but the point is that He takes the route. And it is always better that we could've even thought to ask for. He stands with you and He works all things to your good. Those broken moments teach us trust and lead us right into His arms!
Praise God! Yes, I may be struggling and brought to the point of crying out, but my God hears me and I can hear Him. I can recognize His hand guiding and refining me. That is what happens when we pray! We invite Him to step in and clean up our mess and you know what...He does it flawlessly.
In Grace,
