How often we are in the midst of the storm and take a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
We need to start continuing the story to the end. We have dreams and nightmares, thoughts which trouble us. Continue the story, from bad to worse to death to life in heaven. From job loss to new job found. From injury to health to success. From injury to infection to death to hardship of family to God's hand healing a nation to heaven on earth. We only have a part of the big picture. God has the whole picture. You have experienced the trauma to help you help others journey through with empathy. We are not alone and GOD has a purpose! You are alive for a reason!
No human is capable of dealing with the great trauma alone. Only GOD can heal the wounds of the intense pain - physical, emotional, spiritual. GOD brings people into our lives to intercede with the problem. Sometimes the people are willing to help and sometimes they are not. There are times we turn to the wrong person and they make things worse till we turn to the LORD and we are healed either in this life or the next. Calmness to just be is very important in the healing process.
When we pray, we are asking for different things to happen in our lives. We talk to our Heavenly Father and tell him all our goals and dreams. Our minds are not capable of taking in all our Heavenly Father has planned for us. We see the immediate and sometimes if we have been given the gift, we see the future. This can be unsettling when you see what will be in the here and now. I think it is a great blessing we are not normally allowed to see the future. GOD in his wisdom has blocked from our sight the different events which would have filled us with fear of the unknown. We can go forward knowing GOD knows what is going to happen and he is in control. I pray someday you too will have the inner peace which comes from a personal relationship with our LORD. JESUS is waiting for you, it is as simple as talking to him like you would a friend, he is always with you and he knows what you have already done. Good thing, HE STILL WANTS YOU!!! How amazing is that!!!
