I recently
wrote a post titled, “A Day in the Life”, which describes some of the more basic
and daily struggles of battling PCOS, chronic fatigue, and insomnia. This post
builds on that premise and shares some of my internal battles.
I have
always believed in praising God no matter the circumstances, yet I have come to
more fully realize a truth.
Our Lord
does not call us to praise Him after the storm has passed.
He desires
us to worship Him even in the midst of the unsettled times.
Knowing and
realizing God’s truth are not always the same thing…
Realizing
and living His truths are not the same either.
Then, there
is sharing the Truths our Father gives us to His other children.
Sharing
with others as we walk in the wilderness is DEFINITELY different than knowing,
realizing, or wandering all together.
In theory
it is so much easier to share battles after they are won.
Battles
currently being fought don’t seem to call for sharing or celebrating especially
when it feels like night has fallen and I am losing the war.
Night time
struggles on the battle field:
My job
requires confidence and I don’t have any…
All of my
health issues play in to one another…
It feels as
though each night I sharpen the enemies’ tools.
My marriage
requires accepting truth and love…
All of my
health issues lead me to feel too battered to hear truth and too bruised to
accept love…
It feels as
if I have built a wall against the very vessel that could help protect me.
My body
needs attention and a higher ranking in priority…
All of my
health issues discourage me from focusing on and attending to physical needs.
If feels as
if my body is unable to do the actions that will save it.
My mind is
in shambles.
All of my
health issues have wrecked my mind beyond recognition.
If feels as
if my mental game is completely gone.
My heart is broken.
My heart is broken.
My soul is despondent.
All of my
struggles combined have left no room for my heart to hope or my soul to grow.
If feels as
if I am watching my life instead of living it.
And then I
turn to the Heavenly Father.
My heart
can be found in Jesus.
My Spirit
rests in the Lord.
All of my
health issues I have not completely given to him – UNTIL NOW.
It feels as
if I’ve been trying to do this on my own.
Praise God!
His mercies are new every morning.
The night will end, and I am not alone.
I am in Him.
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his
mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul,
‘therefore
I will hope in him.’”
Lamentations 3:23-24
