On the wall...this life is no fairytale. That's for sure. At least, that's how I am feeling this fine Thursday evening. I am defeated today with worry, stress, pressure, he said-she said drama! I am worn.
This video came to mind last night (Thursday) but when I wrote this blog due to my being so tired and worn, I forgot to add this video:
I looked in the mirror tonight, Father. I don't like what I see...bags under my eyes, tired and hurt eyes, scraggly hair that desperately needs to be cut, extra weight. My thought Father is how could you love this mess of a woman? But then I felt your hug tonight as I was crying in front of my bathroom mirror. I know you love me, I know you want me to be healthy but YOU. LOVE. ME. unconditionally, forever. I am still hurting, Father, I am broken but am I really beautiful to you? What can I change? I feel so lost tonight, my Father. What do I do about those situations I brought to you earlier?
His reply is below:
Matthew 6:31-34 NIV
So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Stop worrying, Jen-Jen! I got this, go to bed and tomorrow will be here my beautiful daughter. Love, Your Heavenly Father
PS STOP WORRYING!

Love it Jenny and let's stop worrying together and we can sleep or at least maybe I can. Once I decided to turn those sleepless nights over to him it worked. Thanks for sharing. Debbie W. (OBS Group Leader)
ReplyDeleteOur God is so amazing! As soon as I feel a panic attack or have a worrisome thought, I stop and pray. At work, I have a worry jar sitting on my desk. Now, yesterday I didn't do that and became so frazzled. Learning to give it to God is not easy. The more I pray, the more peace I feel is coming!
