Lord,
Every season it seems as if You sense that I’m coasting. Life seems good and comfortable. I kind of have a take it or leave it approach to faith. On the surface, happiness is there. Somewhere in my lukewarm attitude, the bottom drops, and I do too. It’s not been a pretty two weeks. Like a pitcher, I am experiencing a case of the yips. Everything I’ve enjoyed is causing me anxiety. I’m having to fight the fear. Or it would eat me alive. I was told about exposure therapy. I must be in the fearful situation to master it. I must go through the fire to come through victorious. I’ve not backed down before, and today is not the day I start. I don’t know why You put up blocks, but I’m surmising if the answer results in my return to Your arms, it is worth it.
Love yourself enough to fight
Praying for you to have peace and rest in His strong arms.

ReplyDeletei am thankful i have been raised in faith. with faith. to fall on when times are tough or rocky. my parents they are the ones, well my grandparents as well. i can not imagine not having him in my life. i rest easy. not that life is a piece of cake but it sure as heck makes it a bit easier. if that is a way to put it?? my hubby and i have different parts of anxiety (how it affects us and how we deal and all that jazzness) ...we each have our stories. i often tell my hubby i know how i would attack that problem ...because of my way of doing thing. i was bullied extremely bad as a kid, my hubby was lucky to not deal with that, but i tend to shy away or protect myself even more ...not put myself out there, because i don't wanna get hurt again. it is like a sore that doesn't wanna have happen again, no fun. i am super shy ...at times as an adult i am even worse or prefer being to myself. doing my own hobbies, fun or whatever ...listening to music. etc. i think it is hard to make friends ...everyone is so standoff-ish. i miss the days of smiling. i often say ...smiling doesn't mean you are wanting anything ...just being friendly ...and kindness doesn't mean a thing, cost a thing ... that sounds better. sadly so much of the new folks (younger aged) are in that cell phone ...and not being present in the real world. i want that interaction ...i crave it. i miss the good ole days when we chatted, smiled at each other and could say ...the weather we are having is well .... the humidity ... blah, blah blah ...nowadays that can get folks up in arms they don't wanna chat about the weather. what can we chat about to not get folks in a bunch?? i love humor. we all have to remind ourself that each of us are walking in different shoes ...dealing with so many array of things ... a death of a loved one, missing pet, whatever it might be ... i am just saying ...we have to be kind and smile. thank you so kindly for your bloggy visit. you truly made my day, month and year!! you're awesome!! those bloggy visit have gotten so small ... i recall the days when i first started that there were so many visits ...i am 45 ...and i realize i am not the norm in this bloggy world ...different stage than most my age or whatever ...maybe? maybe not?? but i love chatting, i love say hey ... just enjoying life. u take care and thanks again. be well.

ReplyDeletePrayers from all of us too. We know you'll be okay, you're taking all challenges head on.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wise observation - you have to go through the fire to be victorious! Continue to be strong and stay close to the Lord
