Dear Dear Priestessblue,
My heart feels your pain in every word! I am on disability, and have felt stressed, worried, alone with no one to help, unable to pray,and God has seemed a million miles away, too. The enemy wants nothing more than to seperate you from God!
God wants to speak love and encouragement to your heart from His! When all forsake us it drives us to Him, and to His word is just where He can speak to your heart from His very own heart, and minister His tender love and encouragement to your spirit. I finally went to my Concordance in the back of my Bible and looked up every scripture I could find that spoke personally to me of His encouragement and great love for me. I wrote them down, one after the other, and read them every day, sometimes more if I needed it. It took time for this to penetrate my heart and spirit, but though I felt far away, I kept doing this day after day. Nothing can stand against Gods word! NOTHING! I took in each scripture just asif it were a vitamin pill for my spirit. His word is alive and living and healing . His word is alive and healing to your heart, your spirit, and even the thoughts you think and the feelings you feel. His word gets into your mind and replaces what the enemy plants. God so wants to cradle you in His arms and let you know He loves YOU personally. He is waiting for you. He so desires to speak you. He wants to speak love to your heart. He even rejoices over you with singing RIGHT NOW, at this moment even when you feel so far away!
Loving and gracious and merciful Lord,
I lift up Priestessblue to your throne. Let her know You are close to her brokenheart,and You will save her crushed spirit. Be a shield around her against the enemy. Let her know that You hear the desire of the afflicted, You encourage them and listen to their cry (PS 10:17) Let her know that You will do what this word says for her, because kind and loving Father, YOU SAID Your word will not return to You void, it WILL accomplish what it says! Speak softly words of love and comfort to her heart about that sweet cat. Thank You that not even a sparrow falls to the ground without You knowing, and that You showed Your tender heart toward the animals you created for us to care for, in the illustration Samuel told David about the lamb that a man loved so much and was so precious to him that even ate from his table, and it was taken away and slaughtered. I speak love and comfort to her tender heart that she shows in her care for your creation, Lord. Encourage her, show her your love for her, heal her heart, calm her spirit, and take away her worry, and meet her needs.
In the authoity of the name above all names, the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the power of the blood he shed on the cross I pray. Amen.
FOR HE WILL DELIVER THE NEEDY WHO CRY OUT, THE AFFLICTED WHO HAVE NO ONE TO HELP. PSALM 72:12
