My Weary Heart...

My heart has grown very weary over a couple situations going on in my life right now. Everyday I finding myself being reminded to, “trust God.” Jeremiahs 29: God's Decree! 10-11This is God's Word on the subject: "As soon as Babylon's seventy years are up and not a day before, I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. 12"When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen. 13-14"When you come looking for me, you'll find me. "Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed." God's Decree.

Here’s what Satan wants, he wants us to think that we made wrong choices… He wants us to question our call and what we are doing and he WILL do it any way he can. I am going to boldly choose to approach Gods throne, knowing he is there waiting for me.

*Hebrews 4:16 (New International Version) 16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

* Joshua 1:9 (New International Version) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

So here I am sitting here typing, screaming inside my head! And rebuking Satan in Jesus Name from all aspects of my life- because one thing I do know Is God is the one sitting on the throne – he is the one that is victorious in the end!

I feel like David in the book of Psalms:
*Psalm 43:1 Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; rescue me from deceitful and wicked men.
*Psalm 35:24 Vindicate me in your righteousness, O LORD my God; do not let them gloat over me.
*Psalm 26:1 [ Of David. ] Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
*Psalm 54:1 Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might.

I read these passages and I am completely humbled and broken- I cry out to my God who wants to the best for my family - I am willing to ask, “Show me where I have been unfaithful? I will fix it- I’ll make every part of me right with you!”

My load is heavy- the burden is weighing me down- I know you can restore me!

*Matthew 11:30 (The Message) 28-30"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep Company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

I want; I desire to feel the rhythm of your grace in these specific areas of my life!! May everything that is connected with me and my family flourish in your name and be claimed with God’s power and mercy!

  2. Dear Britney,
    As I sit here in Denver with Christopher, having just returned from his first grief counseling session; and after reading your blog - I am wondering once again why as God's children we have to suffer, and wonder why He allows certain events to happen in our lives. I wish I had a bit of encouragement for you but I don't. I do know the feeling of helplessness and a bit of what you may be going thru. I do know one thing - no matter what happens, God will never, ever, ever fail you no matter what! He knows every step you take and every move you make! You and your precious family are being prayed for once again! Gayle
