I tossed & turned all night.
I won't give you all the details,
but the sharp pain was unbearable.
As FEAR filled my being
ANXIETY joined in
because now I was believing it would never go away.
But I PRAYED
and immediately PEACE filled my being
and the pain subsided.
Oh HE heard me!
But then the pain returned.
Did that mean that HE didn't hear me?
Did that mean that HE didn't take the pain away?
No & No.
But I thought it.
But I immediately PRAYED again
and PEACE filled my being and the pain subsided.
Oh HE heard me.
But then the pain returned again.
Did that mean that HE didn't hear me?
Did that mean that HE didn't take the pain away?
No & No.
Was this just a game I was playing with GOD
or a game GOD was playing with me?
No & No.
Because when the pain returned I still had
HIS PEACE.
I still had CALM
because HE filled me with TRUST.
As I took another breath and PEACEFULLY PRAYED again
PEACE had me sleep.
PEACE overtook the PAIN
as it always does
when we make PRAYER THE OPTION~
even if the "pain" of the PRAYER still remains.
You know,
THE PAIN OF PRAYER~
that one thing or that one person that you are PRAYING about
that is the one thing or that one person that is causing PAIN.
Oh the POWER of PEACE that strips PAIN away
when we PRAY.
I did sleep in, as I write this way past my wake up time,
with sleepy eyes
yet with a smile
because
PRAYER double blessed me as
HE took the PAIN away
leaving HIS PEACE with me
because HE was with me
because HE always hear me
and
because the best place to always be
is to make
PRAYER THE ONLY OPTION
to take away all the "PAINS" that you may be experiencing
whether physically, emotionally, relationally, financially, _________ally,
because HE means what HE says because HE does what HE says
when we~
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to GOD. And the peace of GOD, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in CHRIST JESUS" (Philippians 4:6-7)
