Well hello again friends, readers, and scattered family in Messiah!
I hope all of you are doing well as we near our weekly blessing of Shabbat. Counting down to sunset Friday eve..... Let's chat: I know at least for myself the past 3-4 months have really been a struggle/battle with anxiety due to some changes that were not going particularly well. My "fight or flight" was in full swing as I was frantically: looking, planning, seeking solutions..... Lo and behold Abba Yah had a plan I was unaware of that was unfolding behind the scenes that took into consideration everything I was freaking out about. Today after 3 months of: crying, fretting, anxiousness, lost sleep.....etc.... Problem solved and it was not solved at my hand or by my "grand plan." I imagine He must have been staring at me blankly shaking His head, "o daughter of little faith" I feel awful too. I know everyone has jokes about the lack of faith of the wandering Israelites.... how could they have lacked faith after all they had seen and experienced.... *crickets* well.... I know better. I know Him better.... Repentance is needed here, a U-turn in every sense of the word. Anxiety /fear/depression are such prisons. They may not have literal shackles but they are prisons. Do not be anxious about anything--but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the shalom of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Messiah Yeshua Phil 4: 6-7TLV Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise—dwell on these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—put these things into practice, and the God of shalom will be with you Phil 4:8-9 TLV When anxiety, fear, depression etc come to grip you and drag you away in those shackles... Think on these things {Phil 4:8-9} submit EVERYTHING to Yah in prayer WITH THANKSGIVING =the shalom of God will guard your hearts and minds in Messiah Yeshua. {Phil 4:6-7} Put on some worship music, journal, take a walk, pray .... do what you have to do but break the line of thought to destruction...break the line of thought to anxiety and "fix your eyes on Yeshua", the initiator and perfecter of faith- Hebrews 12: 2 Until next time: May Adonai bless and keep you as you: press on pursuing the goal for the reward of the upward calling of God in Messiah Yeshua.
