"I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" Mark 9:24
I am holding on... for dear life. I am screaming your name. I have come to understand that I have exalted my problems above you. I have allowed them to put a fog between you and I. I have allowed pain to get in the way, instead of letting you take it away. I have struggled. I have done it every way I know how, except to get back to my foundation... which has and always will be YOU!
Thank you for leaving the 99 to come find this one. Thank you for planting me somewhere safe and for allowing me to trust your church again. Lord, use me, my testimony, my life, for your glory. Don't allow all of this to be for nothing. I trust you more than I trust me.
I put the pain down and put on Your full armor.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Ephesians 6:10-18
I love that this verse starts with the word "Finally". Just kind of says it all...
In Him,
