Letting Go II
September 23.2011
Still the theme in my life....letting go. This week, in particular, has been a huge week of having to let go of some things that were hard in my life. I remember hearing the saying "Let go and let God" which has been playing itself out in so many ways this week it is almost humorous.
Starting this past week, the church I attend is doing something called SEVEN. It is every Wednesday for 7 weeks that we fast and pray for the city of Portland. I know that this time God has used in the past to really focus my life on Him and to pray for things He has laid on my heart. About 6 weeks ago, He gave me the thing He wanted me to pray for during this time. This Wednesday night, God gave me a verse that I want to be true for all 3 areas:
Isaiah 58:11
"And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in the scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water whose waters do not fail."
1. My body: I believe that God has healed me from my eating disorders, but now I am praying specifically that He heals my body of the effects of the many years of damage from the eating disorders.
2. My future husband
3. The clinic
I believe that in each of these areas, God wants to make "springs of water" and it WILL happen in due time. I not only am praying that my husbands "bones are strong" because He is dependent on the Lord, but also that His springs are overflowing. I pray that the girls in the clinic will be taken from the scorched places in their lives and made into a spring AND I pray that my body will be restored and made into a spring of water as well.
