Where do I start…
Today I returned to work after being off almost six months. Was I ready to return? No, but yesterday while I was having a moment the Lord said something to me that I could stand on and know that it would be well.
Yesterday was an okay day, but once it began to set in that I was really going back I began to cry while driving home. When I got home, I sat in my car and like I always do which has become somewhat of a bad habit recently I look for the opinion of others when I should have just gone to my main source which is my Heavenly Father.
Now I am not saying getting a second opinion is bad, but what we need to remember is that God wants the absolute best for us even with what some would say are insignificant things. So while parked outside my house, I reached out to fellow sister in Christ but this time it was for prayer. If there is one thing that I have learned in this season is that I must be intention with my prayers and not pray amiss. We can go before God with what I need from him and not feel like we need to fake the funk.
Funny enough the Lady that I was praying with said to be straight what is it you want from God? and my response was I want clarity on what I should do.
While she began to pray, I heard the Lord say a familiar verse that I have heard before Psalm 37:23 The steps of a righteous man are ordered.
I ended up parking my car and going inside, but to be honest I still felt a little uneasy. So, I decided to put on some worship music to help shift the atmosphere. It was at that time that I began to pray and again I heard ” The steps of a righteous man are ordered”. Immediately the Lord began to speak to me, He said that I needed to return to work because it will help with the grieving process.
The Peace that surpasses all understanding – Bridge the Gap
In Philippians 4:6 it says “Be Anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication and thanksgiving let your request be made on to God, and the peace that surpasses all understanding shall keep your heart and mind though Jesus Christ.
Sometimes things happen that we do not understand and let’s be honest losing someone really sucks but we must remember that we serve and have a all Mighty God that loves and cares for us and wants us to come before him even with the little things or big decisions like I was faced with when deciding if I was truly ready to return back to work.
I really hope that me sharing this would encourage someone in whatever situation that they are going though. Remember that you can and will find the answers that you are looking for with the peace that surpass all understanding before the throne of grace.
Until next time stay blessed and remember GOD has already worked everything out !!!!
