Feeling the power of His love!!!!!!!!!!

[Saved!]

As some of you may have read in the Prayer forum, I was pretty down.....not myself.....despairing....

My husband's work as a truck-driver was not helping ends meet as there is little work to be had now in what he had been hauling. Our bills from owning a truck are immense, work or not.

My fears were overwhelming. I have had sooooo many stressors in the past few years that I am always teetering on the edge of dispair.

Anyway, I have prayed, asked for prayers, stayed away from secular music and t.v., cried out for the Lord, prayed for others, read my Bible, and put my full faith in my Lord in the midst of my fears and struggles to overcome my paralyzing anxiety.

My circumstantial situation hasn't changed, yet my spiritual despair is lifting little by little. I believe God is working on me to STOP focusing on what I am struggling with and concentrate more on how I can pray for and comfort others in the midst of their turmoil.

I am praising God that the dark night of the soul is lifting and I am beginning again to feel like myself.

***Thank you to all Bibleforum folks that have prayed for and comforted me****

I have learned many things over the past year. Mainly that my Lord is my only foundation and hope and He deserves all the GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the many things i love about the Lord is that he uses life to teach lesson that we otherwise would not learn. Im also reminded of David in psalms 18. God aint gon leave you where you are, friend he's just using the situation to teach you something and when he delivers you from it, you will be stronger for every tear you've cried! Be blessed

God will use your situation to teach you something and then once he delivers you from it, you will be stronger for every tear you've cried...be blessed

While I have experienced almost paralyzing fears throughout this trial, I have always felt that this was something that I HAD to go through to make it to a higher level in my relationship with my Lord. And, sadly, I have to admit that when things are going great I am not as close to my Lord. I still love Him and pray and try to do His will, but I am not as passionate. In the past, when the Lord has seen me through a trial I told Him that I would TRY to do better...and I would TRY for a while. Anyway, many things have changed during this trial and getting the word TRY out of my prayer vocabulary is one. I WILL serve my Lord in the way His child should because He deserves nothing less than my complete devotion and service.

During this trial I have told Him that I realize that Jesus OWNS me........I BELONG to Him.........the world has NOTHING for me and I owe it NOTHING. I feel like I have been born again, although I thought that I was already born-again. I see myself, this world, my Lord, my family, my everything with eyes that are beginning to open for the first time. It is not a WHAM-BAM experience and sometimes the overwhelming fear creeps in and I have to ask for prayer and pray on my own to fight it. But, that is exactly what I am doing. I praise God that He loves me enough to help me grow, no matter how painful.
