This song came on my Pandora station this morning. I've heard it and liked it in the past, but today the words held more meaning for me:
"You walk with me through fire/You heal all my disease.
I believe You're my healer/I believe You are all I need."
If you'd like a specific way to pray for me right now, I could use some supernatural peace. My emotions tend to come out as a general anxiety about everything in my life, rather than a specific worry or concern. I wish I could just tell myself, "Stop worrying about cancer." But instead I'd have to say, "Stop worrying about what you're going to have for dinner, or the fact that your zucchini is starting to go bad, or that there's cat hair on the stairs, or that your email box is full of emails you want to reply to." I know my response is not rational; but I suppose that's why it's called an anxiety disorder. :)
God tells us that we can find pleasure in our infirmities and weaknesses because they are opportunities for His strength to be made evident in our lives. He loves working with people the world finds incapable - the more impossible the situation, the more of God's power He can display. So, while I hate the anxiety and wish it were not a part of my life, I rejoice that it is an opportunity for God's strength to be displayed. I'm so thankful that God's strength is displayed all the more in the poor and pitiful!
Many of you have already been praying that I will find peace in the middle of this storm and your prayers have made a difference, even today. :) Please don't stop praying! Without God's power in me, I am nothing.
Much love...
