What do you do when you don't understand, when you feel like God has forgotten you, when you feel like you are not getting answers, when it seems that God is just being silent????? YOU HAVE TO TRUST THAT GOD IS GOD AND HE HAS A PLAN. I have to remind myself that God is not surprised about what is going on and that He is still God. I have to trust that my father in heaven loves us with an unconditional love and that I, nor my husband, have to do anything to earn His love. He already showed us His love when He sent His son Jesus to die for our sins and to heals us of all our diseases. So, I stand on the word and His promises and expect that this too shall pass.
I have a wonderful husband who is going to do wonderful things for God's kingdom. In the interim, while God is doing a work in us, while He is healing my husband emotionally, spiritually and physically and while He is healing me spiritually and emotionally, we will continue to give Him praise because He is worthy. Even if God did not heal my husband, I would still praise Him because His praises are not dependent on what He does but on who He is and what He has already done. At any point in time in this storm God can say, PEACE BE STILL!! So we wait on the one and only and trust that "this too shall pass". We also stand on Psalm 23 that says, "Though I WALK THROUGH the valley of the SHADOW of death, I will fear no evil. Note that it says you WALK THROUGH it, you don't stay there, you don't camp out there, you walk through it. Praise the Lord!!! Also, note it says "valley of the SHADOW of death". It doesn't say the valley of death which would make it final, a done deal. No, it says the SHADOW OF DEATH. A shadow cannot be made without light which again tells me that as long as there is light, the light of God, there is hope. Yes, we place our hope in Him and FOCUS ON HIM AND PRAISE HIM THROUGH THE STORM!!
Isaiah 43:1-3
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the Lord your God
Father God, I know that although I don't understand it all, I know that you are with us and that you will never leave us or forsake us. I pray Father God that you encourage anyone who reads this who might be in the midst of a storm. I pray that your wings of peace just surround them and that they would know deep within their heart that you are with them and you will never leave them or forsake them as it states in your word in Deuteronomy 31:8 and Isaiah 41:10-13
