Communion
Dear Father,
Thank You for another day here! Thank You for all You do and the blessings of those who love me. I feel so full of love.
It has been a very cold January so far. It has been a time of sorrow and emptiness. I have felt lonely after the loss of Zoey. It is not until something or someone is gone that we realize just how much a part of us has gone also. It was difficult looking after a life that was coming to an end. I still had hope. However, the hope I had then turned into discouragement. My discouragement then turned into reflection.
I now understand why King David fasted and prayed for his newborn son to live as he did. Despite his faith in God to heal his baby, God still took the baby Home. Now realizing that his son was no longer living, David then got up from his place of mourning and bathed and put on new clothes. He put away the former things and started fresh. After he put on fresh clothing, he praised God and ate. He had fasted and prayed for seven days in the hopes that God would turn and heal his son (2 Samuel 12:14-29).
Despite our prayers, petitions and faith, sometimes our will is not done. I have one child who focuses on the loss of Zoey openly. With me, I prefer to focus on where Zoey is now. I already know she is in the hands of God.
Father, You keep reminding me with these words: “Seek first the Kingdom and (God’s) My righteousness, and all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33).
Sigh… this world is truly a painful one. This Scripture, ‘the joy of the Lord is my strength’ in Nehemiah 8:10 actually starts off with ‘Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.’ However, I now strongly feel that there should have been a different interpretation of the word ‘joy’ as used here historically.
Moving to Psalm 28:7: ‘The Lord is my strength and my shield, in Him my heart trusts, and I am helped, my heart exalts and with my song, I give thanks to Him.’ This seems like the backstory or expanded version of how or what joy is in the midst of our battles and with loss.
Perhaps the original word should have been ‘confidence’ in place of ‘joy’. This makes more sense to me because I cannot believe that Jesus had any joy at all in the Garden of Gethsemane or while He was being nailed to the Cross.
It is one thing to grieve alone, but, with children, any progress in healing tends to go backwards. The problem for me is that I had seen Zoey up in Heaven or the New Earth years before she died. This somehow prepared me for her to pass here on Earth. I am confident in knowing that You are involved in every detail of this, Father.
Now, about President Trump. It is so wonderful to see answered prayers of protection over the President, his family and our nation. It has been healing.
Even so, I remain in a state of heightened alert because of the different events that You have shown me that are still to come. I now believe the events You have shown me is for a coming time. As for now… we have had more time! Thank You, Father, for this time!
I recently heard a pastor ask this question: ‘Do you make the Earth happier and Heaven fuller because you exist?’ I had to then think about this and pray…
Father, I now realize that I exist because You created me in this time for Your purposes. I have always wondered if I have been a good steward over all You have added into my life, my children, my marriage, my ministry, my animals and my health. I pray that I have added to Heaven too. I struggle somedays with these kinds of questions.
As for my older son, he recently had a horrible setback. Something in his brain is just not functioning properly and I am not able to help him other than to pray to You, Father, for his Divine Healing.
I have been so broken for this month of January and I am unable to help myself. I therefore give my life to You in all things. Please bless my friends and their families too. There are some difficult needs out there, along with some heartbreaking losses.
Father, please comfort and heal Your people. We love You! Changes are difficult.
Jesus: “Erin, come up!”
He once again spoke to me while I sat in my devotional chair. His Voice was very clear.
Jesus: “Erin, I am here and I am with you. Seek Me and find shelter. I am with you. I promise you good things here. I have given you rest in your sorrow as I know that you are catching up with some much-needed rest.”
Me: “Lord, this feels like anything but restful. It is not just the loss of Zoey. It is like only knowing a piece, a small portion, of what You have shown me and still needing so much more understanding. I need Your help! Are we staying here longer? If so, I need some help. I need physical healing for me, my family and my friends. I long in my heart for a place I don’t understand and can’t see here. I am grieving more than I realize and I don’t know how to cure this. However, You can.”
Jesus: “Changes are difficult. You have had many changes in the last year. It has reshaped your thinking and given you new perspectives.”
Me: “Yes, but it is lonely, Lord, and I am scared.”
Jesus: “Don’t be. I am with you, Erin. I love you. Even though this new birth year for you has been one of grief, it is also a year of great change. It is a year of new beginnings. Even though you can’t see it now, I promise you great things.”
Me: “Lord, my heart hurts.”
Jesus: “Then give Me your heart. I love you and I will make it whole again. Just because all didn’t go as you expected doesn’t mean My plans have fallen through and are unsuccessful. My plans are perfect when your plans fall apart. Erin, your enemies are far from you and you live in peace. The paths I have for your children are good ones and great will be your joy in this. Now remember… when you are tired, rest! Erin, you are downcast now even though you should be glad.”
Me: “Sorry, Lord.”
Jesus: “Erin, I have a great plan for you. It is not over. My book is not finished. I love you. Give all you have to Me. Erin, trust in Me fully.”
Me: “I will trust You for all of eternity, Lord. It is just that so many of us are now growing more sick as time continues to march on and on. Things that once were important do not seem nearly as important now.”
Jesus: “I know. However, everything I do for you is part of My plan. All who are with you shall be blessed as you are an army serving God. Now, I know that the waiting is hard. Continue. I am here with you. I love you. Oh yes… Spring is coming early and the time of the Snake! So, Erin, pray!”
Dream over…
