Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Do you
ever just wake in the middle of the night not planning, not with anything horribly
going wrong and just need to pray to God for all the insignificant things, all
the wrong choices, all the good intentions that had went bad and all those
things that have or could have gone into something it didn’t need to be. To just stop.
Make it
stop God!
All those
things you wish you could change, but it’s not your life or just not in your
control.
Almost like
standing in the middle of a war; where everyone is fighting, and no one really
has a clue why and you on the megaphone just have enough and you just want it
to stop. While every looks at you
like you are crazy and as your shouting can we just get along the way humanity
was intended. With love, kindness and
stop the madness, hate, destruction.
Yes, I
know some of the things that come out of this mind at all hours of the day and
night could probably have me committed at times.
But
what if we all including myself could be the change and just make it stop and
refocus on family and what blessings we have?
What if
we who are all so loud and complaining about all that is going wrong and be the
change.
What if
we started learning how to reach our kids, teach our kids even the simplest of tasks?
How to plant and grow food, how to sew, how
to be okay being a factory worker, being a contractor, a repair tech, a home
keeper, an essential worker as something beautiful to have and not just look
down on people because they are not super stars or have fat bank accounts.
What if
we really prayed for our children and our grandchildren. Not just when we are around our church and
Jesus following friends and family but really prayed and not forcefully making
them do but really started living and leading the way?
What if
being woke in the middle of the night really knowing someone is out there thinking
of you, and you know what you don’t know!
Or you know who they pretend to be one way is not who they really are?
Riddles,
questions, so much controversial incomplete spinning that need not happen on any
given day. Much less in the middle of
a sound sleep.
All the
while the one sure thing is you want to make it stop; whatever it is. And give all the positive, all the love, all
the protection, all the thanks to and for those that matter most.
White
picket fence installers need not apply.
Empty promise keepers need not apply.
Repeat romances that you already know the ending to the story need not
apply.
When
you know you are not that person; When
you say you are not that person. Do not
let the candied words and needful escape running through your minds change the
truth.
It ends;
it always ends, and someone always ends up being tossed in the middle of that
warzone with, near, or because of you.
Job so desperately
wanted God to make it stop and yes biblically he never did anything wrong. He not once went out and stepped into the
sandbox to deserve such great torments or losses.
He held
tight to God’s rob and His faith that if this is what God will allow so shall
it be.
Doing
the best, we can with what we are given.
Growing through the pain, teaching, and learning as we are growing. Never losing sight of who is in control.
How did
He (JOB) have so much strength to just keep going. How many times did he with all that is
going on cry out to make it stop? Never
given the chance to save his family. Everything
taken away just like that. His one true
love his wife turning on him when she should have known him best accusing what
he was not. His friends were not because
he no longer fulfilled their needs of what or how a friend should have meant back
then. Yes, maybe afraid they too would
be left to nothing. But I don’t recall
any of them sticking by through it all is praying and not giving up.
We all
go through hard times, sometimes we are the hard times, sometimes we are the collateral
damage. But in the end when we do our
best and maintain faith in all that is pure, all that is good all that is yes
Godly! We see through to the other
side and become a better same kind of different. Growing through the messes and
lessons. In the end of JOBs suffering,
he and His faith were given a do over and he no matter how bad it got remained
faithful.
We when
we do it in faith and not try to force things, not try to make it happen
ourselves. We too with clear minds, pure
hearts and clean hands will get to see that which feeds our souls on the other
side.
There
will never be the promise in anyone’s life that won’t hurt us. But what we cling to when we are crying out
to make it stop. What we are purposing
for when we are trying to get back up it all matters.
Love
yourself before you chase someone or something else to love you. And yes marrying someone else’s ex if they were
totally done is a choice you need to be sure about. But one thing for sure; never be the cause of
why they became the ex to start with. God
will never bless those who are committed to one and playing in the sandbox with
another. Also knowing if someone
promises you the world when they leave their significant other that what comes
around goes around. They will do it to
you as well. You may not believe that in
the heat of the moment but if they are not filled with the spirit they will
never be filled and will always chase that next feeling that makes them think
this is it.
Things
happen I get that. Though in my lifetime the lies, the not caring
hateful and even violent moments of being that wife and calling them out for
what it was.
And what
I have learned is just because you didn’t work out and someone did you wrong
does not make them a horrible person.
They just never resolved the things they were chasing or what hurt them
before they jumped in and pretended the bandage, we become was it.
Eventually
the healing has to be addressed and people do what they do before it’s too late
and the scars sometimes heal while others, they just close over what eats away
and destroys who we were meant to be.
Yes,
make it stop Lord all those that are so depressed and wishing and even trying
to leave this planet because they cannot deal with what life is giving
them. Fill them up and let them know
they matter.
Those
who play games because that is all they know; let them find their real selves.
Those suffering
and broken and hurting. Lord fill them
with that peace and healing that only you can.
Let them know it is you and not anything or anyone else.
Make it
stop for those broken relationships and the unnecessary, hurt, habits and hang-ups
they find themselves in. Make them deal
with the truths. Protect the littles
caught in the crossfire.
All the
puzzle pieces our lives become that are knocked and scattered all over the floors,
streets, atmosphere. Lord may we cling
to you to find our way back to the canvas as you intended.
No more
finger pointing in relationships, in government, in families. Lord may we start working together to
rebuild and become one in you, in and for all circumstances.
May we
forgive ourselves for not being enough or trying to be too much of what we are
not.
May we
forgive those who trespassed against us; physically, verbally, emotionally.
May it
stop Lord! Make the harm and mayhem
that our babies the children of the future are being used for, stop! Protect them from the evil dwellers; lead
them to safety. Curse and justify
those who bring harm.
Show us
the righteous path we must take. Show
us how to lead as we are already.
Someone is always watching. May
we teach, may we grow, may we lead in your will.
May we
have the endurance to just keep believing and never let go of you Jesus through
it all. So, we can reflect and help
others get here when it’s their turn.
Heal
this land, Jesus! Show us how to be
part of the light that grows and plants and helps grow forward.
Thank
you for all the unknown reasons you use this mind, this ability to sit and type
out. Make it mean something to help grow
forward if not just for myself, but that of whoever needs to know.
In
faith, with hope we will make it to the other side and will be that helping
spirit for others seeking their way across.
Guard our
hearts, our eyes, our lips.
Protect,
guide us in mercy and grace. Even though
we will never do enough to deserve it.

Therefore, holy brothers, who
