Dear brides, even though we don’t know who the author is, who wrote this, nevertheless, I just wanted to share it with you, and hope that you will leave a comment if it resonates with you…
I haven’t submitted a PR in some time but not because I don’t have anything to praise My Love for but I have been taking time alone with Him, focusing on Him. I have been going through difficult times but the difference is I am going through these trials with My Love. Life is so much better this way. Each time things happened I just gave it to My Love to take care of. He gives me so much peace even when everything seems to be falling apart all around me.
*First, after taking the truck in for new brakes the mechanic says the tires are so worn I shouldn’t drive it, the gas gauge broke and the signal light went out. I had to switch to using the old car.
*Our pool pump stopped working. I paid for repairs, parts and chemicals. It worked for a few days then started to smoke and completely broke. I need to buy a whole new motor.
*The old car started to smoke and stall on me. FH arranged for our boys to take the truck in for new tires. What a surprise! Then he arranged for the old car to go to mechanic. I can drive the truck with the issues it still has for now.
*The weather has changed and guess what? My winter clothes are too tight on me. I’ve gained weight and I feel so out of shape and tired. I praise My Love through these struggles. I know He’s still working on me and will complete what He started.
*My kitchen garbage disposal broke twice in a week. Our son was able to get it going again both times. It just broke again and he was able to get it going once again. Praise God!
*I received a letter in the mail that my storage shed needed to be demolished because I didn’t have the proper permits through the city and the height was over the limit. I didn’t know where I was going to do with our things but I would have to get rid of a lot of it. If this is what My HH wants me to do then I will.
*Then one morning my ankle just started to have a sharp pain. I couldn’t walk. I just literally laughed out loud because I felt the enemy is running out of time and this was all he could think of to do to me next. The pain mysteriously went away in the afternoon.
*Our son (23) got into a car accident and totaled his car. Then out of his frustration started to argue with me and said some hurtful and disrespectful things to me. I cried to My HH about it and nobody else. I told My Love that if he wanted me to share this with his Dad have him call me in the morning. He did and we had a nice talk about our son. I also repented to My Love because I feel I could have had more patience about it and had a gentle and quiet spirit.
*Then the same son got into trouble with his cousins. I had to let their parents know. This terrible situation ended up being better in the end. FH and I co-parented very well together. I will write another PR with details about this situation.
*My brother in law (sisters husband) also lashed out at me in anger for an issue he cause on himself. I was surprised at how My Love has helped me through this and gave me such peace through it all.
One thing after another just kept coming at me and My Love kept bringing me through each thing as it came. He is always with me, He never leaves me. I feel His love, peace and faithfulness with me always as I continue to seek Him more. I seek His face not His hands. I don’t to cry out to My Love to solve my problems anymore. I want His Will to be done in my life, whatever that may be, let it be done to me.
In the past I would have broken down, lashes out at people and given up. But now going through these trials with My Love, feeling He is with me and in control, just sitting in His presence, giving it all to Him, talking with Him so often about it all and staying in His Word, I feel so much of His peace. I actually feel this all is for His purpose and plan and I was glad that this is all for His glory.
Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
I wanted to share this praise because sometimes we feel that sooooo many things are going wrong!! One after the other and we are all alone… Just today I am recording my 2nd Lesson for our Wise Woman Video lessons and I woke up feeling sick and I have a sore knee since last week!
When this happens I know that I need to push through with HIS help which I did!! And already I feel soooo much better and able to continue with my ministry work after stepping out to take my son for his swimming lesson…
With my Beloveds help!
I hope that this praise will encourage you to speak to the Lord about what you are going through, GIVE HIM each and every trial and watch how HE clears up and solves each and every problem, issue or difficulty you may find yourself in!
Oh, this is so true Atarah. When things like this happen it always reminds me of the little foxes that we need to be careful of. It is much easier to get weary from all the little things that happens than the big things. You sort of prepare for the big things and then the little things just drags you under.
It is amazing to have a Heavenly Husband that we can know if our hope is in Him, we will never be dissapointed. Thank you for the encouragement today!
