I could use some prayers, please
🧐 Help Wanted 🤔
Got an extremely difficult situation I'm dealing with and am feeling nervous and panicky. Interestingly, my morning bible reading was from Mark, when Jesus is in the garden of Gethsemane. I'm not comparing my difficulty to what Jesus was facing, obviously, but he was struggling with fear and dread and I am in a similar situation. I too want God's will to be done, but I would really, really, really, like to have some peace about things, lol. Please pray for God's peace on me now and as I go head to head with this thing tomorrow. I am certainly dreading it. Please pray for God's peace that surpasseth understanding to come on me and for me to have wisdom and discernment and honor God in all my actions. Thank you, frens.
For what it is worth... We go through life as in a rowboat moving through time - not as passive spectators standing on the shore merely watching time pass in front of us. In a rowboat, our back is facing our future. As we row forward into that uncertain future we can only see where we have been and actively control where our boat goes in the moment - the only place where we exist. The buoys and other markers along the way tell us if we are headed in the right direction as long as we chose to actually see and read them. When we see those markers of our past we can also see where our heavenly Father has guided our lives and was present with us the entire time. We cannot see Him because He has our back - back to the future where we are headed and where only He exists outside of time. (Shepherds lead their flocks from behind.)
Have confidence in the future based upon the signs of the past where He has been present with you. Know that He will also be with you in the moment, and He will be there to meet you in your future. He is the past, present, and future. This life is but a testing ground for the future that He has planned for us - a future so glorious as to be beyond words. Be at peace my fren - do the right thing, and know that your Father has your six.
This was such a great analogy. I love it. We have our back to the future and can only see the past. We need to pay attention to the buoys and markers to know if we're on track. I love that you said our Father has your six. And He did. Thank you so much for your prayers and your wonderful example. It means so much.
You are most welcome fren. God Bless.
