Women of the LORD
For those of you who weep over many things,
Pour out your hearts to Him this day!
For those of you who are in the pit of despair,
I say to you, I too was once in the pit of despair for many years.
I was trapped in one of the darkest and pain filled pits that one could imagine.
I was oppressed in my soul from things that tormented my soul.
These things reeked havoc in my dreams and my day to day living.
But the strong and valiant women of the Lord who were around me
Surrounded me with prayer even when I was not with them
I knew that they were praying for me.
The years in this pit are merely a memory now, but it’s the times that I cried out to the LORD
To satisfy the longing to be healed and freed of many soul wrenching circumstances.
I choices to make along the way to HIS path of Freedom in my LIFE.
The Lord could have in a blink of an eye heal me but what HE chose to do required me to surrender all those things to Him but I could not do it all at once.
It was a process and still is and still will as long as I am living on this earth.
I remember telling one of the women who ministered to me that I wasn’t sure that I would like myself after all the “stuff” that was tormenting me was gone. I was afraid to let it all go. I was afraid to totally forgive others as well as myself.
That’s when the LORD reached down into the pit that I was in with HIS shepherd’s staff and grabbed me gently out of the pit as I partnered with HIM in my process to freedom.
Each fear that I had.
Each person whom I felt that had harmed or betrayed me.
Each lie that I believed.
Each painful event in my memory banks, I had to surrender to HIM.
In its place I received,
Peace,
Freedom to forgive
Freed from the lies that I had believed by having the LORD speak His truth about Who I am in HIM to me,
Joy as those memories of those years in the pit of despair are but a scar of who I once was,
The scars are reminder to me that I would not be the Woman of God that I am without having experienced all of it.
For the girls/ women who are struggling in the pit of Despair ,
I say to you, that the Book of PSALMS in the Bible was my go -to- Promises in those years in the pit of despair.
Take a Psalm a -day and then turn it into a prayer for your own life.
Be blessed in knowing that the LORD does not LEAVE alone.
HE will continue to pursue all the days of your life here on earth.
He will use those your testimony as He is using mine in the lives of others.
