As I scrolled through my words for today, I was lifted as I read this one down below, because last night I lay tired, weary, worn, thinking when God, I didn't get an immediate response. It's so amazing how I drifted off to sleep awaiting an answer He would use an email to give me comfort. I know nobody wants to admit that they are broken, nobody wants to save hey I am saved but I am struggling. Well, I stand before you to tell you that having an anointing cost. Having a gift can be a burden, why because to whom much is given much is required. I know from personal experience that God's children are in a spiritual battle at this time. I don't know about you all but I like to keep it real before God. So I cry and I tell Him, you know what I am mad about it, I don't understand it, I need you to help me forgive, I need you to show me how to let it all go. You might be thinking well that's nerve, no it's real and God knows that I feel it all anyway. He doesn't take His hands off me, instead He touches me and gives me the comfort I stand in need of.
David is one of my favorites of the BIBLE because he too, knew that God wanted real and meek. Even in his sins David would wallow before God, humble seeking God and every time God showed up. Seeking God requires humility and transparency. So today whatever it is that you may be struggling with, ask God for His help. He may not answer us the way we want, He may close a door that you wanted open, He may let a relationship fall apart that you were standing for, He may say no to a job that you wanted and really needed, but guess what He has a ram in the bush. Your children may still seem to go there own way but remember if you trained them up then the word says they'll come back to what they know. Someone I love dearly said to me last night, your blessings won't always be delivered directly to your door, so accept them how He gets them to you. Well that gave me such a peace. A peace I needed when I felt like I was loosing all control, only to remember my life is in His hands and He has control even when I am feeling like a tumbleweed.

Psalm 69:3
I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
There comes a point where there are not more tears to cry. The sadness remains, but the waters dry up. It is in this calm after the storm that we can make sense of things. David cried unto the Lord often. He needed to vent the emotions and pressures that built up inside him. Being the king of a headstrong people was not easy. David experienced periods of intense joy, but also of excruciating heartache. He learned the value of a purging cry. In moments of desperation, David let down all his defenses to stand exposed before God. In those times, God was sure to come to him and offer David all the comfort he needed. In our times of desperation, the Lord will give us comfort, too.
Prayer: When there are not more tears to cry, Lord, fill me with Your peace and consolation, Father. Amen.
Blessed to Be A Blessing,
