So when I left you yesterday I was in a overwhelmed state. My day had been filled with obstacles coming at me from many different directions. I was determined to not do what I normally do and fix them all myself. I found that for the most part I am helpless to fix most of the issues. So I went to prayer.
I wish I could say that prayer made it all better and today the sun was shining, all well with the world. Not the case. Today had some additional troubles and I was no further at getting a grip on yesterdays. So I determined that I was going to praise God anyway and carry on.
Due to the people involved I am not at liberty to write about what has happened but it did make me pause and ask myself who will listen. I know God hears my prayers but in the natural we all need a ear we can bend. Do you have such a person in your life? I find many people have no one they can talk to. Let's face it sometimes it has to be someone other than our best friend or spouse.
So I pondered who I could call. It had to be someone I trusted. They had to be grounded in the faith. They needed to be impartial. It would help if they had the gift of encouragement. My list was shrinking. You know who I called? No one. That should never be.
Lord, please help me and my readers to find the special people in our lives that can help, listen, advise, just be. We are relational creatures and like the saying goes, "no man is an island." Bring connectivity to all of us with those that need someone and those that need to be for someone. Amen
So for now I'm sitting here on this cleft edge. It is time to relax into God. I need to feel the Holy Spirit breathe over me. I need to be filled with power. I am going to watch God move in the situations I find myself. Praise you Lord for goodness, mercy and most of all LOVE.
